The two top Texas Democrats running against Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, disagree over the proposed border security bill. On Monday, U.S. Representative Colin Allred of Dallas said the bipartisan Senate agreement reached on Sunday is a "much-needed step." State Senator Roland Gutierrez of San Antonio dismissed the bill as "a slap in the face to Texans" that was crafted in secret. Gutierrez is polling second to Allred ahead of the March 5th primary, which will determine which Democrat will take on Cruz in November.
