Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted on the Senate floor Tuesday that the Gang of Eight’s comprehensive immigration reform bill would pass the Senate, but would not make it through the House.
“This bill is going to pass the Senate, but as written, this bill will not pass the House,” Cruz said. “As written, this bill will not pass into law. And if this bill did become law, it would not solve the problem. Indeed, it would make the problem of illegal immigration that we have today worse rather than better.”
The U.S. Senate voted 82-15 Tuesday to advance a bill that includes a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants to floor debate.
