And it’s still not going to be enough: They need help from the Bucs against the Bears and the 49ers against the Lions . The Chiefs more realistically can win the division by winning one more game than the Broncos over the next two games.
Sen. Ted Cruz released this extensive explanation of the truth behind claims that he supported the 2013 “gang of eight” Amensty bill.

Kaufman is urging everyone that is moving to higher ground to be sure and close all the windows and doors in their homes first. The fire is less than 10 percent contained and it will take at least three days to get it under control, fire officials said.
The Texas senator has portrayed Rubio’s decision to back the 2013 bill as motivated primarily by winning over top Republican moneymen, and on Friday he mocked that Rubio was enamored by the fame as well. “If you’re going to attack someone on a policy issue, you need to be clear about where you stand on the issue and where you stood in the past”.

He will consider promoting Russell and/or Randle again in January, at the conclusion of the Lakers’ seemingly monthlong road trek. That’s how I have confidence out there that I can play at a high level every night. “So that was encouraging”.
“Under this Gang of Eight bill, what it says is the president may determine a group of people who can come as refugees”, said Lavinia Limon, CEO of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a refugee advocacy organization.
“No, it did not say it would have legal status”, Cruz told a skeptical Van Susteren, who repeatedly charged that Cruz would have done just that. He ended up voting against the Senate bill, and in the aftermath of the child migrant crisis he voiced support for House legislation to end President Obama’s deportation protections for DREAM Act-age immigrants. In fact, he mentioned to Drucker at one point that when Hispanics in Texas are polled on the subject, a plurality preferred legalization without citizenship for illegals to either citizenship or the status quo.
Marco Rubio campaigns in Iowa and Missouri.
Rand Paul piled on Ted Cruz over immigration Sunday, saying his Republican presidential rival “should just admit that he changed his mind”. However, like Trump, Cruz is going for a more populist tone, frequently attacking big banks and government spending.
That’s a far cry from the line Cruz is sticking with now, as he put it at Tuesday’s debate: “I have never supported legalization and I don’t intend to support legalization”.
“He’s the one that, for example, supports doubling the number of green cards”, Rubio said. “Ted, you support legalizing people who are in this country illegally”. Speaking to reporters in Iowa, Rubio addressed another point of tension between himself and Cruz, their respective records on immigration. Indeed, I led the fight against his legalization and amnesty. I oppose legalization for those here illegally. He doffed a cream-colored “Make America Great Again” hat, and listened as Trump praised his immigration views. The answer Cruz has seized upon is immigration, Rubio’s soft and vulnerable underbelly.
And it was Sessions, a popular senator among conservative voters, who provided Cruz with a political boost when he defended his colleague’s stance against a 2013 immigration reform bill that failed to pass Congress: “I believe, without the vigorous opposition from Ted Cruz, this bill very likely, would have passed”.
Four years ago, Snodderly worked for Rick Santorum’s campaign, which won Tennessee but says conservatives connect better with Cruz.
“By calling their bluff, we defeated amnesty”.
At first, Cruz tried to brush off the charge by declaring that he has always opposed amnesty.
For all of the debate over immigration this week, some Republicans – and a majority of all voters – support a pathway to citizenship, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. More than 7 in 10 Democrats are in favor.
Cruz supporter and Las Vegas resident Bob Jacobsen, 85, linked illegal immigration to terrorism, noting that he and his son bought guns for the first time two days earlier to protect their family from violent extremists. “Read it as many times as you’d like”.
