You go research Cruz's actions during the Gang off Eight fight, not just selective sound bites but his entire strategy, then come back here and tell me he truly wanted amnesty.

If you still claim he wanted amnesty we'll all know the value of your word.

That was not a "selective sound bite" that was Cruz addressing the Senate Judiciary Committee. But there is more

Asked directly, Cruz had every opportunity to state that he didn’t intend for his amendment to be adopted or for the Gang of Eight bill to pass at all and in fact replied the opposite. At no point did he describe his amendment as a poison bill or procedural maneuver to derail the bill. He had every chance to say he opposed a legal status for illegal immigrants and didn’t do so.

At this point, there is no reason to believe that in 2013, Ted Cruz opposed a path to legalization (not citizenship) for illegal immigrants.
