Cruz said: “The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,â€-- because, as I pointed out to you before, amendments in the committee cannot change the underlying framework of a bill unless they are Sponsor substitute amendments. Cruz was absolutely right: his amendment did not seek to strip the work permit legalization language in the Gang of 8 bill because--by rule-- HE COULD NOT. Sessions, Lee, and Cornyn also did not submit amendments seeking to strip the legalization language: because they could not offer such amendments.
To accuse Cruz, or Sessions, of supporting legalization because of what their amendment did not say is a logical fallacy. They did not support legalization. How do we prove this? Because they fought, with amendments, with speeches, with legislative trickery and with filibusters to prevent legalization and other forms of amnesty. Those are actions easily verified proving their non-support of legalization. All you have to offer as evidence for their support for legalization is the lack of language negating the Gang of 8 legalization within amendments, but as I have already told you, they were not permitted to include such language in their amendments.
What has "common sense immigration reform" always meant for Cruz? You need look no further than his current website or his comments during the 2012 Senate campaign. He has always opposed amnesty and advocated for the rule of law. Those laws, by the way, mandate deportation. Did you work for the Dewhurst campaign? Your "pro-amnesty" attacks on Cruz, the attack on Mrs. Cruz being a supporter of globalism within CFR, and the language you use is right out of the Dewhurst playbook. "The Christian church in America is sick." That is a value statement with no supporting evidence. It also speaks to a sickness within your own soul far more than as an interpretive tool for Cruz's candidacy.
In the context of the article, it is Cruz himself guilty of leaving information out, as it is clear that Cruz was using it to support his bonafides as a moderate on immigration.
To accuse Cruz, or Sessions, of supporting legalization
In Cruz's case, it's easy to do when he tells you his position. In Sessions' case, in his defense, the entire GOP had already conceded legalization, as explained in one of the links I just gave you.
