Thanks for your views. I do give Cruz credit for leading the fight and bringing the voting public into the fight. The pressure put on the House is what defeated that amnesty bill.
Both Rush and Mark Levin agree, without Cruz, Amnesty would be the law of the land.
Several immigration/amnesty bills died in the House before Cruz was even elected to the Senate. The Rubio/Schumer bill died for the same reason the others died: the House is more responsive to what the people desire.
Cruz was not responsible for the most recent amnesty bill dying in the House. Rush and Levin need to review the history of amnesty bills since around 2006.
