You’re probably referring to the amendment he proposed for the bill submitted by the gang of 8 which exposed their lie of ‘legal status’ for illegals. http://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/did-cruz-support-legalization/ with your ‘was and is for legalization’ assertion. Disingenuous assertions, whether intended or just repeated, do not serve the truth.
I’ve heard, understand and agree with the reason Cruz supported TPA. Unlike most, it appears, I understand the difference between TPA and TPP, and how something like TPA has been necessary and in defacto use for 80 years.

Too many people aren’t doing their due diligence regarding the facts and the truth and/or are just haters.
TPA paves the way for TPP. Trade deals have never failed with Fast Track, it’s a vote for TPP just with some cover because it’s a political runaround the Constitution, allows Congress to abdicate their own responsibility.
