What Ted and his petition are focused on is the border security ‘issue’. But even at that, that’s not what he wants. As he has said, he favor comprehensive ‘reform’ (code word: amnesty), not just border security.
Border security and an immediately specified path to citizenship are the two tweaks that Rubio and his gang have been prepared to modify their bill with, if that’s what’s needed to get it through the Senate. They offered a slight tweak on security (which is meaningless), but are now confident of getting it through without further modification.
Then, all they have to do, as Michele Bachmann has warned, is go through reconciliation with a less harmful immigration bill which would probably be all that Boehner could force through the House, and have the noxious Senate version be what comes out of the process.
The country’s being sold down the river and all you can do is claim that Cruz’s support for legalizing tens of millions of illegals, with a law that explicitly ‘forgives’ them massive past felonies, somehow isn’t amnesty.
