The smear machine has started on Cruz, so he's doing something right and worries the opposition, like Grover Norquist who promised to marginalize any opposition to the gang of 8 plans. He brag he already marginalized Jeff Sessions. Let Sen. Sessions know he is appreciated for his YEARS of work for conservatives on this issue.
To see David Dewhurst trying to debate Cruz was a revelation. Dewhurst is a decent guy and fairly conservative, but Texas didn’t need another old Tory in the Senate, a male version of Kaye Bailey.
Cruz has the added advantage of being correct.
Funny, I'm trying to get him primaried out of the 2014 race for Lt. Gov. He's a squishy RINO. Certainly not conservative. I've got the Boot Dewhurst in 2014 pinglist here on FR.

God Bless America, I voted for him!
REVELATION: COULD IT BE Ted Cruz actually read the Bill!!
God Bless You for doing so!
If Rubio wants to do something about the plight of his fellow Cubans that’s fine. But the people who easily come across through Mexico are from all parts of the world. I would suggest that for two years the Feds enforce, without exception, all the current laws already enacted and then let’s see where we are. And no more work visas or guest worker programs.
Could it be that Ted Cruz read THIS:
Consider what the Marco Rubio’s bill is attempting to hide by moving so quickly. The bill:
Grants amnesty to illegal aliens simply after the Secretary of Homeland Security submits plans to secure the border;
Grants amnesty to criminals and gang members;
Does not require amnestied illegal aliens to pay back-taxes;
Does not require amnestied illegal aliens to learn English;
Allows illegal aliens to sue the government for amnesty;
Allows the open borders and pro-amnesty lobbies to sue to prevent enforcement measures from taking place before illegal aliens can receive green cards;
Requires taxpayers foot the bill for illegal aliens to fight deportations at the Attorney General’s sole and unreviewable discretion;
Requires only 3 of 9 southern border sectors to have a 90% apprehension rate, leaving the rest in the porous status quo;
Grants green cards and citizenship after 5 years to illegal aliens claiming to have come to the U.S. before the age of 16 who meet certain criteria;
and
Effectively halts all deportations for years by requiring Homeland Security to allow every illegal alien its agents intercept to apply for amnesty and prohibiting agents from deporting them until the illegal alien’s application is adjudicated.
AND NOW IS OPPOSING THE BILL??
“God Bless America, I voted for him!”
For Cruz? Aren’t you still in Illinois?
I'd also love to see Corny Cornyn primaried. (I can dream.)
Those placing their bets early might have been betting on the wrong Latino Republican. We’ll have to see, but no doubt Rubio has hurt himself with many by making such a hard sell and, frankly, misrepresenting what the Gang of 8 conconction would actually do, or mostly not do when it comes to border security.
I called Rubio the Bart Stupack of the immigration debate and I’m sticking with it.
I wouldn't be surprised.

I love Ted Cruz. He’s the real deal. You guys in Texas are blessed to have him. Rubio pals around with Mc Cain too much.
“I called Rubio the Bart Stupack of the immigration debate and I’m sticking with it.”
Nice analogy. Good work.
I moved to Corpus Christi Texas to care for my terminally ill father. He went to be with Jesus March 17, 2012
“Might be a provision of 0Care...folks in IL can vote all across the US...as often as they like ;)
I wouldn’t be surprised. “
LOL!
Cruz is doing something right!
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss! How do you like Texas? I was born near there, in Falfurrias.
