Sorry, but I head an immigration grassroots organization that lobbies on the Hill. I have been doing this for over 8 years. Sessions has been the unquestioned leader in the Senate during this entire time and Steve King in the House. I have worked with both of them as has NumbersUSA, FAIR, CIS, etc.

Cruz has only come recently to the issue. Sessions led the fight against the Gang of 8 bill meeting with House GOP members. He prepared a lengthy briefing paper on the Gang of 8 bill and immigration and distributed it to every GOP member of the House.

Sessions led the fight against the McCain-Kennedy bill. He has led the fight for a long time. I am glad Cruz is picking up on the issue. He participated in last years DC March for Jobs along with Sessions, King, Mo Brooks, Alan West, and others. In fact Steve King marched in the front of the parade on a very hot day with about 4,000 of us, including many blacks.

I like and respect Ted Cruz, but I can't let you get away with the allegation that Sessions is just the front man. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Good grief!!! We are now going to split hairs on who is the *front man*? Really? We need every pol we can get, we need Sessions AND Cruz.

Or is it your contention Cruz is not necessary and Sessions can go it alone. ....is that what you prefer?

Who the heck CARES who was first?! Geeesh,,has Obamaism crept this far into the ranks of Conservatives? Now we are going to have a stand off over who was first? Really? This is EXACTLY what King Obama wants. Is Sessions demanding any sort of credit? Come on!

Mo Brooks is another good one. He’s principled and tough as nails.
