Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) may have stopped immigration reform legislation in the House by calling it what it is with one word: “amnesty.”

After the House Republican leadership unveiled its “immigration principles,” Boehner eventually had to declare–in what some conservatives still believe may be a head fake to buy time to convince Republicans on the fence to support his legislation–a week later that amnesty legislation would not move forward unless President Barack Obama could ensure that Americans could trust him to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.
