Again, no his version of immigration reform did not include, does not include legalization. He specifically used the Dem talking point “bringing people out of the shadows” in that committee testimony in order to highlight how incredibly false that premise was. They had no grand humanitarian intentions or they would have supported an amendment to remove the path to citizenship.
The Gang of 8 Bill was amended, by the way, just not by Cruz.
The amusing thing about all of this is that there is verifiable evidence that proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Cruz supported legalization both during and after the gang of eight fight. I wish I could know your psychology, what it's like to be in your shoes where, with a mixture of pride and faith, you can assert something that the plain evidence disproves. I cannot relate to it. At least, I hope that I cannot. God rescue me if ever I am as self-deluded as you folks!.
