My understanding of the amendment added to the gang of 8 bill was a poison pill by Cruz. He single handily killed the Rubio bill. He can’t say anything other than he wanted his amendment to pass with the bill or we would have gotten amnesty. His amendment was so destructive that rubio and the other 7 let it die. Now I know this is too complicated for your average burger flipper. They make it look as if he flip flopped, but he never did and single handily saved us from ruin.
This is a completely bizarre take. The bill passed the Senate. If anything, had Cruz's amendments passed, it probably would have instantly passed the House too. It gave the Democrats 500 percent increase in H1B visas, doubled Green Cards and gave legalization to illegals. This was a position that Cruz continued to support long after the gang of eight fight was over.
