Cruz (TX) GOP Immigration Hypocrisy

Does anyone else see the damn hypocrisy in this post from Talking Points Memo (in it's entirety):
In a report Thursday on NPR about how Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) father shaped his vision on immigration, his father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, an immigrant from Cuba, said that while he “came to this country legally,” he basically bribed an official to get to the United States.

“A friend of the family -- a lawyer friend of my father basically bribed a Batista official to stamp my passport with an exit permit,” the elder Cruz said.

Son Ted Cruz, who is critical of the ‘Gang of 8' immigration bill, often attributes his views to his father’s emigration from Cuba: "In my opinion, if we allow those who are here illegally to be put on a path to citizenship, that is incredibly unfair to those who follow the rules."

What a bunch of two-faced bastards.
What's good for me - it's damn good for me.
What's good for you - doesn't concern me.
