FNC’s Bret Baier Praised for Tough Ted Cruz Interview

Sen. Ted Cruz was put on the defensive Wednesday about the role he played in a failed Senate attempt at immigration reform, asserting that he did not support granting undocumented immigrants a pathway to legalization.

Appearing on Fox's  "Special Report with Bret Baier," Cruz was pressed by the anchor for his reasons for putting forward an amendment that allowed undocumented immigrants to get legal status -- a position Cruz is now against. Cruz's plan would have stripped out a provision granting a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants -- which Cruz calls "amnesty" -- but would have allowed them to have some type of legal status, such as a work permit.


Baier played a clip of Cruz saying he wanted immigration reform to pass and that the amendment would have let "those illegally to come in out of the shadows."

Cruz is against undocumented immigrants receiving legal status, a position he long dodged.

  1. If he would only hold democrats and establishment republicans feet to the fire I may have respect for Baier. BuzzFeed comments are a joke.
