Ted Cruz Set to Infuriate the Left With Immigration Bill Amendment

by Jason Howerton

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday announced his intention to file another amendment to the so-called "gang of eight" immigration bill that is facing tough opposition from some GOP lawmakers.

"I'll file amendment to immigration bill that permits states to require ID before registering voters & close this hole in [federal] statutory law," Cruz wrote via his official Twitter account.

I'll file amendment to immigration bill that permits states to require ID before registering voters & close this hole in fed statutory law.

Cruz has consistently opposed the immigration bill, voting against its advancement in the Senate three times and has shown no signs of flipping on the legislation.

Cruz previously attempted to amend the bill to remove the path to citizenship provisions for illegal immigrants. As previously mentioned, the Texas Republican's latest amendment would require states to require ID before registering voters.

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that states cannot require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make voting easier. The justices voted 7-2 to throw out Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "Motor Voter" voter registration law.
