When Cornyn announced plans for an amendment that creates for hardened “
triggers” and new restrictions on eligibility for the path to citizenship,
Rubio seemed open to working with Cornyn on these changes, but as a new
POLITICO story confirms, Cornyn’s acting on his own. Those who have
followed this issue for decades know that Cornyn is famous for talking the
talk on immigration reform without walking the walk. Back in the McCain-
Kennedy days, Cornyn made beautiful speeches about the need for reform and
then worked with Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) to propose a bill aimed at
undermining support for McCain-Kennedy. When the bill moved to the Senate
floor in 2006, he proposed poison pill amendments and then, despite the fact
that 23 Republicans voted for it, he voted against it. In 2007, after
winning approval for a poison pill amendment that undermined support for the
bill and began the demise of the effort, he again voted no. To add insult
to injury, only moments after he helped defeat reform, Senator Cornyn took
to the Senate floor and gave a speech about the need to pass immigration
reform. And in 2010, he voted against the DREAM Act, blocking the bill from
the 60 votes needed to end a Republican filibuster and dashing the DREAMs of
millions of young people.
