"This is the first time Cruz has made this argument about why. more than two years ago. he put forward these amendments—and it begs the question as to why he took so long to make this case. But an aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who fought alongside Cruz to eventually kill the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, confirmed as well that Cruz's and others' amendments were for exactly that purpose—and not a statement of his policy beliefs." From Breitbart:

IOW, he was lying to congress. But then this still doesn't explain why Cruz continually equated amnesty only with a pathway to citizenship, and refused to talk deportation for all this time.

Now that I think about it a little further— it also doesn’t explain the interviews Cruz made with the media, explicitly declaring that he was opposed to deportation and favored the granting of legal status.

The idea that none of this “expressed his policy beliefs” is absurd on its face.
