“Yahoo dug up these quotes, saying if this amendment were to pass, the chance of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically, a few weeks later during a debate on the senate floor Cruz repeated his belief that this amendment is the compromise that can pass, and repeated later in Princeton that if my amendment were adopted, this bill would pass.” it sounds like you wanted the bill to pass.

But Ryan Tannehill threw three incompletions and then was sacked by three Colts, with Robert Mathis leading the charge. The Colts defenders jumped the ball and was in the back-field before one single lineman had come out of their stance.
“Without question both Rubio and Cruz have been for amnesty, so it’s kind of a silly debate”, the Kentucky senator said.

As part of his cover, Collins told medical professionals tied to the doping trade that he planned to compete in the 2016 Olympics. The Broncos released a statement Sunday morning regarding the allegations against their quarterback Peyton Manning.
“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.
Private Space Race: SpaceX Lands Rocket Month After Blue Origin
Elon Musk said shortly after the launch that though the company will test it, this rocket will be stored away somewhere safe. This landing happened on land rather than at sea on a special concrete pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
After the rally, Sessions took the suggestion in stride. Instead, he told the Senate in June 2013, his amendment would set up a process so that “those who are here illegally would be eligible for what is called RPI (Registered Provisional Immigrant) status, a legal status, and, indeed, in time would be eligible for legal permanent residency”.
Rubio, also a GOP presidential contender, has accused Cruz of being open to legalization in the past and that he only became more hardened toward it since announcing a run for president.
“He supports legalization, and I think his hope was once he got into the general election, to then start talking about legalization as a way to attract more voters”, Rubio said.
Republican presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) waits before addressing a legislative luncheon held as part of the “Road to Majority” conference in Washington June 18, 2015.
“I’m always puzzled by his attack on this issue”, Rubio said in the debate. In an interview Friday morning with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, Cruz said his campaign chairman, Chad Sweet, was “wrong” when he told reporters after the debate that Cruz ultimately wants to “expand our legal immigration system”. “He’s the one that, for example, supports doubling the number of green cards”.
Cruz is the second presidential candidate to campaign in Minnesota this week, following Democrat Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. I half expected her to pull out a 9 mil on Rubio, shoot him in the leg, and scream “Citizenship, motherfucker! I oppose legalization… today, tomorrow, forever”.
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. Later, it went on, and I think Cruz won the exchange especially on the immigration and amnesty issue. But neither of them would make that mistake again.
Key to making sense of Cruz’s political calculus is to remember the landscape of immigration reform at the time.
At that time, Cruz was offering one of his amendments to the so-called “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which Rubio helped to draft.
Rubio, facing huge pressure from the right and the reality that the GOP-controlled House was not even going to vote on the measure, began walking back his support soon after it passed the Senate.
“By calling their bluff, we defeated amnesty”.
“It is not surprising that other candidates are throwing rocks at us”, he said, adding, “It is not surprising there are other candidates in the Republican field that are choosing to launch attacks our direction and choosing to launch false attacks our direction”. He endorsed “an eventual path” to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
