Please, spare us your indignation. This was all discussed and laid out on the square in another thread.
Cruz's amendment was a parliamentary ploy that unmasked what the 'Rats really wanted with their G8 "compromise" legislation. Cruz gave them what they said they wanted in his amendment -- only without citizenship. The 'Rats immediately turned around and blew chunks on it, whereby Cruz proved that what they really wanted was citizenship right NOW for millions and millions of illegals.
Cruz was not trying to sell out America or U.S. citizenship with his amendment; he was wrestling with the 'Rats to expose their core issue, which they'd kept hidden. The offer of the amendment scored a fall, exposed the 'Rats politically and ended that particular push to score citizenship for their millions of border-jumpers.
Yes, yes. We’ve heard all of Cruz’s excuses & rationalizations. He’s kinda like the little boy who cries wolf, but with the twist that things never quite turn out the way he ‘’meant’’ for them to.
Sorry. Not buying.
