Ted Cruz actually said...

"I am the son of a legal immigrant who, 58 years ago, came here, applied to come here legally and ultimately received U.S. citizenship."

"I would note your legal counsel is apparently authorizing you to spend money that is not authorized by statute."

"That means somewhere between $324 million and $484 million that would otherwise be spent to aid the processing of legal immigrants is not being spent for legal immigrants."

"Another major concern is the question of fairness, that executive amnesty benefits and, in fact, gives preferences to those who are here illegally and it does so to the detriment of legal immigrants."
