Fox News’ Bret Baier pressed Cruz on the claims the GOP presidential hopeful made in 2013 – when he supported a measure granting a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants – to his current position, which is the opposite. Rubio is raising new questions about an unsuccessful amendment to that bill that Cruz proposed that would have given legal status to immigrants in the country illegally. Cruz went on to say that just because he introduced his amendment doesn’t mean he supported the “other aspects of the bill”.

And some of the credit for the boost in three-point shooting goes to Kentucky natives Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis . Saturday’s intrastate showdown was a thriller, as No. 16 Louisville hung tough with an uber-talented Wildcats squad.

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have reprised their roles for the Episode-7 in the franchise. Ryan sent out a press release that compared Obama’s team to the evil empire of the ” Star Wars ” films.
To hear Cruz tell it, the moment was a turning point, one that would finally bring Rubio’s support for a path to citizenship to the fore in a way it has not been highlighted before. According to a story in Politico, Cruz has said at fundraisers that he considers the opinions in the Journal on par with those of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama-reinforcing his view that “the establishment” is a big-government bloc not limited to Democrats and liberals. But it gave Cruz a new ally in the immigration wars, with Cuccinelli alleging Friday onstage in Richmond that some are trying to “muddy the waters” over Cruz’s voting record.

Ciudadanos has said it will abstain in the vote to allow the PP to govern in a minority but this would not be enough. Together they would be the only vaguely realistic two-party combination that could form an outright majority.
After Cruz continued to deny the disparity, maintaining that he wanted to kill the Rubio-sponsored bill, Baier asked: “The problem is at the time you were telling people… that this was not a poisoned bill”. Marco Rubio is the guy who knew it was a joke. Cruz has seen his top-tier status confirmed by at least one post-debate poll that showed him in second place nationally, albeit far behind Trump.

“I’m always puzzled by his attack on this issue”, Rubio said in the debate.
“I’m just flabbergasted, really”, Sessions said during the rally. In a decisively more offensive stance toward Rubio, Cruz’s aides zeroed in on the Floridian’s absence from a high-profile vote in the Senate and sharpened their questioning of whether he was betraying Sunshine State voters when he joined the Gang of Eight. But when it comes to votes, the fact remains that Cruz opposed immigration reform, and Rubio helped to pass it.
“Some have a criticism of Ted and what he did in regards to this massive immigration bill”, said Sessions.
Secondly, but most importantly, Rubio wants to fix our broken legal immigration system, which is the only real solution to stemming illegal immigration.
“Typically a conservative campaign is an insurgency, and this is not an insurgency”, Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe said.
“We’ve dumbed it down to a kindergarten level because nearly everything, if you want it to be called, is a form of amnesty”, Paul said.
Responding to comments Cruz has said about Trump behind closed doors – as opposed to in front of the cameras where his friendliness shines – Trump defended his ability to make good decisions and said his own temperament was better than that of the Texan’s.
Appearing on “The Laura Ingraham Show”, Cruz ridiculed Rubio’s attempts to obscure the differences in their records on the issue.
I am strongly against amnesty.
