WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced on Monday another amendment to throw a wrench into the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform bill: tying it to voter ID.

The amendment, which he first announced on Twitter, is unlikely to make it into the eventual bill. Cruz voted three times — once in the Judiciary Committee and twice on the Senate floor — against moving the “gang of eight” bill forward even for debate, and is considered unwinnable as a “yes” vote for the legislation as a whole.

Still, he has attempted to add his own touches to the bill, such as stripping it of its path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. The most recent amendment would touch on the equally contentious issue of whether would-be voters should be required to show identification to prove their citizenship before registering to vote.

Again, still strawmen. It doesn't change that Cruz did not oppose the underlying mass legalization that was offered by the bill. He simply wanted to bar them from citizenship and to "enforce the border first" before granting legal status. Nothing you are showing me here contradicts that.

If the Democrats had been smart, they would have supported Cruz's amendment and simply waited a few more years to get the citizenship they wanted.
