There is a bit of a disconnect if you check the article. Notice that it is actually from mid-2013. We are now in 2015.
So, this is not just coming out. It's a very old article.
Also, Cruz was a very junior senator at that time, and he was still getting his feet on the ground in a lot of ways. If elected in 2012, then he didn't take office until Jan 2013, so he had only 5 months under his belt when he came up with this idea.
I suspect he would view it differently now. Sessions hates the idea, and Cruz now supports just about everything Sessions says on immigration.
I do stand corrected if that is the case and will allow someone the opportunity to change or adopt new positions. For me this isn’t flip flopping it is changing a fundamental view through words followed up by action. I’ll watch closely to see where he stands with this now.
Shame on me for not thoroughly noticing that
Aha. Shame on me. I didn’t check the date!
God bless and keep you, dearest xzins!
