Here’s a “twofer” immigration story that appeared right here on FR.
In the posted text it says, ***”Cruz previously attempted to amend the bill to eliminate a path to citizenship***”.
Then goes on to talk about another amendment he attempted that required states to require ID (proof of citizenship) before registering voters.
Ted Cruz Set to Infuriate the Left With Immigration Bill Amendment (Voter ID)

Again, let’s not get lost in the weeds and forget what you have been posting. You keep on posting that Ted Cruz is nibbling around the edges by only addressing border security and not amnesty itself. Flat false. Has spoken out against any path to citizenship, ever, for those who entered illegally, and has offered an amendment that would eliminate the path to citizenship portion of the Senate immigration bill.
As a bonus, also offered an amendment on the issue of voter registration ID to prove someone is a citizen before being put on the voter rolls.
Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty. How much clearer can I get? He is in favor of legalizing tens of millions of illegals already here. Though his idea of this bill doesn’t include a path to citizenship, that is what the bill includes and what would be inevitable after the mass legalization.
This bill does forgive those tens of millions the massive number of felonies they’ve committed through identity theft, fraud and the like and excuses them from billions and billions of back taxes unpaid.
It is amnesty, amnesty, amnesty. Cruz is for the legalization of tens of millions of illegals—which is amnesty!
What Ted and his petition are focused on is the border security ‘issue’. But even at that, that’s not what he wants. As he has said, he favor comprehensive ‘reform’ (code word: amnesty), not just border security.
Border security and an immediately specified path to citizenship are the two tweaks that Rubio and his gang have been prepared to modify their bill with, if that’s what’s needed to get it through the Senate. They offered a slight tweak on security (which is meaningless), but are now confident of getting it through without further modification.
Then, all they have to do, as Michele Bachmann has warned, is go through reconciliation with a less harmful immigration bill which would probably be all that Boehner could force through the House, and have the noxious Senate version be what comes out of the process.
The country’s being sold down the river and all you can do is claim that Cruz’s support for legalizing tens of millions of illegals, with a law that explicitly ‘forgives’ them massive past felonies, somehow isn’t amnesty.
