I did say I was voting for Cruz. Part of the “sanctuary city” debacle was because there is supposed to be no such thing as a sanctuary city to begin with.A city cannot trump state and federal law on immigration.Any bill in favor of or against would be bogus.

I don't think you can blame Dewhurst for the Sanctuary City bill failing. It didn't have the 2/3 margin in the regular session and passed the Senate in the special session when they bypassed that requirement. It died in Byron Cook's State Affairs Committee with 2 weeks to go.

Texas Legislature Online - SB9

There was some discussion about attaching it to another Senate Bill right at the end, but the author of that bill didn't allow it.

There is plenty of other ammo(see post #51 for a few items) to use against Dewhurst, but I think the Cruz campaign went too far on the sanctuary city bill and invited a response from most of the Texas GOP Senators.

If you can look past Dewhurst's despicable ads, then he would likely be a party line vote like Cornyn. Not a RINO, but also not someone who is willing to stick their neck out to hold the line on spending or defend the Constitution.

That's why we need Cruz.
