I have seen over the many years countless examples of journalistic malpractice and the biggest offender is the NY Times.
If you are serious and truly interested in getting to the bottom of this, you will copy that NY Times piece to Ted’s office by email or fax and accompany with your letter asking for an explanation. His office will respond to you and they will give their view of the NY Times slant. Then take the results and post them back here.
But I know the answer already because I am very familiar with the game back in DC. I know Ted tried to get the poison pill of amnesty out of the Gang of 8 bill and he tried several other amendments but they failed. When he saw he could do nothing more to stanch the damage the bill would cause, he turned to communicate directly with conservatives in the House and because of his leadership they wised up and shut the immigration effort down.
Ted is with us and by us I mean conservatives, real true conservatives. Conservatives are not anti-immigration, they are anti-democrat and anti-RINO who use immigration to fortify their incumbencies.
Ted is right that immigration reform is needed but not under the bunch of socialists and liars that control the Senate and White House. Timing is everything in a poker game regardless of what cards you hold. The time for immogration reform is later as in the time when real true conservatives control Congress. Ans this is exactly what Ted has said.

From Jane’s comment:
“Keep in mind, if Sen. Cruz’s amendment had passed, the underlying work permit of the Gang Of Eight would have remained. The 11 to 12 million here living in the shadows would have been able to get a work permit, which the majority of Hispanics support over Amnesty.”
So that means that Cruz does favor LEGALIZATION of the aliens - and therefore turning this country into a Third World cesspool in a couple of generations, rather than trying to get them back home and keeping this country what it was.
Thanks for the clarification.
