Pro amnesty Cruz did nothing to stop the gang of 8 bill, it passed the Senate remember. Cantor losing his election to an unknown who campaigned solely to stop amnesty killed the gang of 8 bill. This is a well known fact.

He killed it by making them send an unpassable version back to the house. Pretty skillful maneuvering if you ask me. Cruz had been working to bring the attempts of the establishment in both parties to light before Trump stepped in a truly brought it to the fore front.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Friday that he proposed five amendments that would bar citizenship and other benefits for illegal immigrants as a “poison pill” to kill rival Marco Rubio’s “Gang of Eight” legislation in 2013.

“My amendment was a one-page amendment that said anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship,” the first-term Texas senator told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News. “It was calling their bluff because what it did was revealed hypocrisy.”

“Pro amnesty Cruz did nothing to stop the gang of 8 bill, it passed the Senate remember.”

And this proves the “trump supporters are low info” line to be factual. Cruz fought it hard AND worked the house to ensure it’s defeat there. Sessions himself credits Cruz for the bill’s defeat.
