Marco Rubio’s staffers seem to understand that this race is likely to boil down to a race between their employer and Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas. As a result, they apparently feel the need to smear their guy’s main rival.

They do that by spreading a video in which Ted Cruz appears to support amnesty – at least in some cases and for some people. Here’s a tweet in which a staffer makes the case that Cruz is a new convert to the ‘no amnesty’ point of view:

Shocking, right? Ted Cruz attacks Rubio for being a pro-amnesty guy, but he shared that opinion only a few years ago! Oh no, what a liar! What a hack!

There’s just one minor problem: as former Cruz-staffer Amanda Carpenter explains, Ted didn’t actually support amnesty. He only put this amendment forward in order to show to voters that the Gang of 8 wasn’t telling the truth about whether or not their amnesty plans would eventually result in a path to citizenship for illegal aliens...

The honest truth of the matter is that the only candidate who does not support amnesty is Donald J. Trump. All of the others do support amnesty in one tortured way or another. If you are not going to deport you are for amnesty. Amnesty means letting them stay.
