And yet when Cruz bad mouthed Proposition 187 to Bush, it wasn't indicative of him being a RINO.

What are you talking about? Prop. 187 was a California proposition, and it was back in the 90's, before Bush was elected president anyway.

It passed in 1994. It was shot down shortly thereafter. Cruz was Bush’s adviser in 1999, and he sent a memo helping Bush explain why he was against it. Why should either be against it? They don’t believe in state’s rights?

Cruz wrote Bush’s position to repeal 187.

I don’t know if Cruz was simply the lawyer doing what Bush wanted or something else.

Good point. DoughtyOne has said this before and provided some sort of documentation proving it - or so it appeared.
