This is a confusing issue.

Cruz, who announced his presidential bid this morning, once proposed an immediate increase in the base H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. Cruz offered the H-1B increase as an amendment in 2013 to the Senate's comprehensive immigration bill.
—Patrick Thibodeau, Computerworld, 23 March 15.
And yet Cruz on his campaign site says, 12 months later: "Halt any increases in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high. The purpose of legal immigration should be to grow the economy, not to displace American workers. Under no circumstances should legal immigration levels be adjusted upwards so long as work-force participation rates remain below historical averages".

—who to believe? 2015 Cruz or 2016 Cruz?
