There Is A Clear Winner In The Ted Cruz Versus Marco Rubio Immigration Foodfight
Since Tuesday night’s debate, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have been in a pitched battle over immigration reform, specifically the part where the 12 million undocumented immigrants who are living here now get to pay taxes, and whether they get representation along with that taxation. Weird how Republicans don’t support that. The rift has managed to dominate the aftermath of the debate, and a clear winner in this fight has emerged.
Rubio has been trying to stain Cruz with the libel that he was every bit as barely compassionate as Rubio used to be, and that Cruz supported a pathway to legal status back when Marco supported a path to citizenship. Rubio’s evidence is how sincerely Cruz pushed for an amendment that could have saved the Gang of 8 bill. Here’s Cruz in 2013 earnestly urging his colleagues to forget politics and find a middle ground:
“If the proponents of the bill demonstrate a commitment not to politics, not to campaigning all the time, but to fixing this problem, to finding a middle ground, that would fix the problem, and also allow for those 11 million people here illegally a legal status, with citizenship off the table. I believe that’s the compromise that can pass.”
Cruz later urged his colleagues to pass his amendment expressly so that the comprehensive bill would pass:
The proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principal objective to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally to be out of the shadows. This amendment would allow that to happen. If this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically. And so I would urge the committee to give it full consideration and to adopt the amendment.

Sad, cruz is nothing but political. He will do anything that suits him politically. He doesn’t care if the bone heads who voted for him would support certain issues, if it fits his fluid political ideology, he votes for it. That is all that matters to him, he is the very definition of a political beast.
