Cruz was leading the battle against the Gang of Eight Amnesty Bill and was trying to appeal to some colleagues who may at least accept that the priority should be to secure the border first.

"Ted Cruz was on my side and fought this legislation all the way through.... It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed." - Jeff Sessions

Jeff Sessions: Without Ted Cruz, Amnesty Would Have Passed In 2013

The tweet I posted was sent by Cruz to his most loyal supporters. In it he spells his priorities out plainly: first, ‘secure’ the border, then mass legalization.

And btw, amnesty did pass in 2013. It passed the Senate with the greatest of ease. Search it with your favorite engine; it’s a fact.

Gang of Eight was passed in Senate.

However, in the House it was stopped when Cantor lost in his primary.

Dave Brat saved us from Amnesty.

CanuckTed had NOTHING to do with stopping it.
