I can’t comment on Cruz’s intentions...Brooks says that sabotaging the bill was the intent all along; but no, I don’t have his word on the subject.

Thanks for your response, Alan.

Immigration has been my number one issue at Free Republic for the last 12 years.

Cruz’s “poison pill” claim, two years after the fact, makes no sense to me.

Every well informed person in the country knew exactly why the Democrats wanted the 2013 Gang of Eight Amnesty - 12 million new Democrat voters!

Can you recall any Republican congressman or Conservative pundit who made a reference to Cruz’s “poison pill” before 2015? I can’t.

And the original Bill had massive support in the Senate, 70 votes, as I recall, so I don’t even understand what the purpose of the “poison pill” was.
