Rand Paul who is am honest man said Cruz was for legalization as was he. Cruz has a history of being for legalization as long as the border was secured first. That was he position until Trump showed up. “Me too” Ted just tries to lie away his flip flops since flip flops counter his “consistent, principled conservative” stick. He’s not consistent, he’s not principled, he lying Ted.
Agree with you one hundred percent. Cruz said at the time that he wanted the Gang of Eight to pass/become law. He correctly foresaw that it would be difficult to get it through the House. The single biggest change to the bill the Cruz amendment mandated was a fig leaf to give Reps a talking point. I.e. they could have told their constituents, “But the legalized ‘undocumented immigrants’ can never become citizens.”
It was a lie—Cruz’ specialty—but he hoped voters would be stupid enough to buy it just long enough not to vote their Reps out en masse. Cruz is the antithesis of conservative; let’s sincerely hope his supporters don’t have to find this out the hard way.
Apparently, ya’ll can read Cruz’s mind and know his intentions better than he or Jeff Sessions and Mike Lee do. You haven’t addressed Trump’s statements that support amnesty.
