That is not to say he isn't involved , as are others, but I will stand on Cruz being the lead in this matter as it was Cruz who met with them all Wednesday in a private meeting.
I believe Cruz has stated that it's not significant who gets the credit, with things as they are in congress, it's that things get done. Further Sessions taking the lead on the floor was the right thing to do since the democrats would love nothing else but to blame this on Cruz...which they already are.
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.
