It was on Numbers USA long ago. I don't know how many times it has to be explained that the amendments Cruz offered to the Gang of 8 Bill were a parliamentary tactic to expose the Dems true motivation, citizenship for illegals. They were poison pill amendments. Session did the same thing. Cruz, Session, Lee, King have explained what they were doing over and over again.

"It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed." - Sen. Jeff Sessions

Re: “It was on Numbers USA long ago.”

The Numbers USA questionnaire? You can't be serious.

All Cruz did was check answer boxes on a questionnaire and mail it in before the Republican Primary in 2012. He had NO legislative record at the time.

After winning his U.S. Senate seat in 2012, did Cruz introduce any legislation in the Senate such as anti-Birthright citizenship, or universal E-Verify, that was consistent with the views he claimed on the questionnaire? Of course not. The first Bill we saw was Cruz-Sessions a couple months ago.

Re: “I don't know how many times it has to be explained that the amendments Cruz offered to the Gang of 8 Bill were a parliamentary tactic to expose the Dems true motivation, citizenship for illegals.”

You can't be serious. Cruz waited more than TWO YEARS before he claimed it was a parliamentary tactic.

And why did he need a tactic? Everyone in the country knew what the Democrats were up to.

Re: “Session did the same thing.”

Did what? And when?

Re: “Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed.”

What? The bill passed the Senate with a two-thirds majority, 68-32, in June 2013. The House refused to act on it, thanks to vehement opposition by House Conservatives.
