No, my point was that it was originally Cruz accusing Obama of using the poison pill to scuttle the bill, and then turned it around to get himself out of hot water for subsequent remarks.
“The Tea Party favorite said Congress could easily pass a comprehensive immigration reform deal if Democrats, and particularly Obama, stopped demanding the inclusion of a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.”
Comprehensive immigration reform has ALWAYS involved some form of amnesty. It starts out with “getting illegals out of the shadows” a concept Cruz has used. Why would Cruz use “comprehensive immigration reform” the way Schumer or Rubio does? Even Rubio comes right out and defines it correctly.
Google “comprehensive immigration reform”. It will invariably entail easing immigration restrictions, legalizing illegals, etc. All these descriptions use the default position that the United States has a moral obligation to commit suicide as a nation by taking in everyone who wants to enter.
A few weeks ago, Cruz told a person, an illegal, I believe, on the campaign trail that our immigration “was broken”. Again, code for amnesty. Our immigration system is not broken, it is not enforced. Why did he not say THAT? If the woman had not violated our laws, she would not even be here. She is here illegally, so the nation all of a sudden owes her everything she thinks, and also Cruz does to, evidently.
I suggest that NO ONE use your prose as a substitute for the facts, which I have posted to this thread (this information can be found online with a minimum of research and an unbiased mind).
