Defiant Jeff Sessions on ‘Gang of Eight’: ‘Every Step of the Way, Ted Cruz Was on My Side’

This article is after the gang of eight fight, so it's entirely irrelevant. But as for Sessions, I suspect Breitbart, lazy as they are, were asking him leading questions about amnesty and the pathway to citizenship, not on legalization.

Though, for that matter, no one on the Republican side at that time was opposing legalization, provided it occurred after the border was secured:

See here

Even Rush Limbaugh was publicly for legalization and opposed deportation, claiming it was "unrealistic":

"I have never said, whatever number are here illegally, "Round 'em up and deport 'em." It isn't realistic. We have to stop the influx. So you can't pose a question to me, "Okay, Mr. Limbaugh, after we secure the borders..." the borders are key. And then we come up with a plan, I could give you two or three of them that would help legalize these people if they're willing to assimilate. We don't want a Balkanized America, and that's what this is leading to. It's just a matter of following the law"

source

Sessions can state that Cruz was with him "every step of the way" (except when Cruz voted down Session's amendments), and yet not save Ted Cruz from his characterization of legalization of illegal aliens as part of "common sense immigration reform".
