You know good and well what that amendment was for. Cruz has explained, Jeff Sessions has explained, Mike Lee has explained it, Steve King has explained it. Sessions used the same parliamentary tactic in offering poison pill amendments to the Gang of 8 Bill. It exposed the Dems true goal was to convey citizenship and nothing less.
Watch the videos. He was gung-ho over his amendments. Said they would make the gang of eight bill okay. It he was lying then, and he seemed to be 100% sincere, how can you tell if he is not lying now?
