Or is the claim that amendments were introduced and defeated, and they amounted to a poison pill?
Odd, no one can explain what Cruz did that amounted to a poison pill, and that article doesn't explain it.
Well the gang of eight with Rubio had set up huge amnesty and millions more illegals over several years. The only reason you don’t have that is Cruz amendment poison pill.
You are totally unfamiliar with the bill and the amendments. All 5 were shot down exposing the gang of 8 and rallying the House to crapcan the bill.
