Ted Cruz unveiled his immigration reform plan on the campaign trail Friday afternoon, positioning himself for a fight against Marco Rubio by moving in the direction of conservative immigration hawks and away from some of his own previous positions.
The Texas senator rolled out his plan onstage in Florida and criticized members of both parties for being "in complete harmony on amnesty," which he argued hurts legal immigrants and working men and women.
"Enough talk, we're going to solve this," Cruz told the crowd. "The problem is political will."
His reforms include halting any increase in legal immigration so long as unemployment remains at an unacceptable level, suspending the issuance of H-1B visas for 180 days while an audit and investigation of the visa program is conducted, and ending birthright citizenship. Cruz's plan also requires legal immigrants to certify that they will be economically self-sustaining.
