“Ted Cruz Vows To Oppose Any Path To Legalization for Undocumented Immigrants”
Unfortunately this statement was made 6 months before the New York Times story, and while I respect the words of FReepers, I still trust published news sources more - especially when I cannot find anyone refuting the story (if you have something, please link me to it).
Your link was from prior to the Senate debate and passing of the bill...and I suspect that Cruz hadn’t thought it out too carefully before speaking. But after the summer of 2013, EVERYONE involved in the debate knew exactly what their words meant.
Cruz’s position is still a LOT BETTER than Cantor, as Cantor will destroy this country for my kids - whereas Cruz’s position destroys the country for my grandkids - and I won’t be around for that. And if Cruz results in nothing getting done, that is FAR BETTER than either his own position or that of the Senate bill.
We need to hold our leaders accountable...no matter how awesome they are (and Cruz is certainly awesome otherwise).
You can let the NY Times program your head all you want. I wouldn’t trust them to take out my garbage.
