Senator Ted Cruz offered three amendments to the Senate Immigration Bill that would have:
* Prohibited federal, state, or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally
* Ensured that illegal immigrants are not given a path to citizenship
* Modernized, streamlined and expanded legal immigration.
Sen. Cruz previously proposed amendments to strengthen border security by dramatically increasing the number of border patrol agents, enhancing infrastructure and technology, and improving the legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas by 500 percent and raising the cap for legal immigration.
Unfortunately, every Democrat on the committee voted against Sen. Cruz's measures to improve the immigration bill.
