Are you serious? Sessions almost singlehandedly led the fight against W's two major amnesty pushes in 2006 and 2007, years before anyone outside of GOPe circles had ever heard of Ted Cruz. And Sessions again led the fight against the 2013 amnesty push along with leading the fight against TPA and TPP and the other sell-out trade deals being negotiated.
Ted's major 'accomplishment' in the Senate was to stage two or three publicity stunts, which had not chance of success, but which game him material to use in campaign speeches and TV ads telling everyone how he fought the 'Washington cartel'. And which he is now doing ad nauseum.
No one is really "leading a fight" when they are staging a hopeless publicity stunt.
Well stated. Sessions along with Tancredo and Hunter in the house defied their own party to oppose amnesty. Sessions is a true hero.
