Cruz proposed an Amendment that specifically addressed the issue of our Immigration Laws and that they could not be circumvented by any trade agreement. McConnell did not allow it to be voted on in the Senate. There is some possibility that the Cruz language could be adopted by the House. I notified my Rep. not to vote in favor of this unless it did contain that language.
The problem is McConnell (no surprise there), not Cruz.
Sadly, Cruz seems to have voted for 0bamaTrade FastTrack. I know he can later vote against the full deal, one time, with no amendments.
But that’s the problem. 0bama will sell out as much of American as he can get past Congress.
So, the whole Senate set 0bama up for the win, and America for the loss.
Cruz should have spotted that game.
And I’m a 100% fully paid in Cruz Supporter.
Do you understand that was nothing more than posturing and stage craft?
The law precludes Amendments.
And Ted Cruz voted to enable this Law to be "Fast-Tracked"...needing only a mere majority of votes in the Congress.
No debate. No Amendments. No Filibuster.
No Article II, Section II.
Hell, no Constitution at all.
You’re wrong. Cruz’ amendment passed and is in the bill.
It was S. Amdt 1384 to S. Amdt 1221 which passed. Look it up.
