(WASHINGTONEXAMINER) — Plans pushed by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz under the immigration reform debate in 2013 would have jumped the number of immigrants, including those from Muslim nations, by doubling green card caps and boosting temporary worker visas five-fold.
Under the Cruz plan, yearly legal immigration would have gone from 740,000 to 1,675,000.
Well before Donald Trump drew a line on Muslim immigrants following a wave of terror attacks, highlighted by Tuesday’s deadly blasts in Belgium, Cruz’s suggested changes to the so-called Gang of Eight legislation would have also created a family green card category and lifted the per-country caps on immigrants.
