Cruz actually worked on the immigration language amendment with Session. Cruz acknowledge that after he examined further the concerns that Session had, that Sessions was correct. Rand Paul and another Senator blocked the Immigration language amendment that would have prevented so many of the problems with TPP.
When did he supposedly have this revelation? Not until after he had already won the battle for fast track, joining with Paul Ryan in writing an op ed, and in attacking conservatives.
Cruz always has his come to Jesus moments after he's already screwed us over.
By the way, this is part of the TPP lie and lets you know that Ted Cruz actually favors the bill. It's not just the immigration portions. The fact is, TPP does not accomplish anything it sets out to do. It will not be a way to "even the playing field" with China. China will join the TPP and will benefit from it either way, while our manufacturing will simply find newer places to go too, such as Vietnam.
The entire bill is what needs to be crushed, not a bill that is slightly imperfect because it has immigration stuff in it. Which, by the way, there is no reason to believe Cruz actually opposes. Cruz's wife was a member of the CFR and supports these sorts of immigration policies. Cruz has never acknowledged this, but consistently refers to her as a "conservative" dissident, even though she was no dissident to the CFR's open borders agenda.
