Okay, I’ll try.
Cruz said “Legal Status”, like green cards, not “citizenship”.
Amnesty would turn them into citizens, major difference.
Not thrilled about Cruz’s deal here, it could have backfired. but it did kill the bill.
The gang of 8 was always about Amnesty/citizenship for the Establishment Dems for voters and the Establishment Republicans for cheap labor.
Cruz says “legal status” not amnesty/citizenship.
There is the difference.
A green card is legalization, and do you really think that millions of people given permanent green cards would never be given citizenship?
Cruz says “legal status” not amnesty/citizenship.
There is the difference.
AKA “Second class citizens.” Dems are licking their chops at the GOP being dumb enough to do that.
