Well Cruz never talked about a wall until recently., never talked about “tripling†border security til recently
Then you have been living under a rock. All action...not just talk.

Here’s his quotes:
“As President, I will stop illegal immigration, build a wall that works, triple border security, and put in place the surveillance and biometric tracking to secure the border. Border security is national security. We need to stop Obama’s amnesty and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers.â€
“There is a lot of bipartisan agreement among Texans on immigration,†specifically “that we’ve got to get serious about border security,†Cruz said.
Perhaps most radically in the new plan, Cruz says he would halt “any increases in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.â€Â
“I strongly support legal immigration. Legal immigration is a fundamental pillar of our nation’s heritage, and I was pleased today to offer legislation that would have improved and expanded legal immigration by dramatically increasing the cap for high-tech temporary worker visas,†Cruz said on May 14, 2013.
On June 17, he announced a bill titled “Immigration Slush Fund Elimination Act†that would stop the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ability to use its fees “for the provision of legal immigration services to fund amnesty.â€Â
Where was Trump? Pandering to DREAMers.
How many soccer balls did you pass out today?
That is a lie, and it is easily proven to be a lie. All you have to do is go back to 2011-2012 when he was running for the Senate. He was campaigning on the wall and tripling border security at that time, when Trump was still calling Romney mean for talking about deportation.
Here is an excerpt from an article about the last debate Cruz had with Dewhurst:
Cruz went on the offensive against Dewhurst on illegal immigration - a key issue in the state that shares the longest stretch of U.S.-Mexico border - calling attention to Dewhurst's 2007 support of a guest worker program for the state's undocumented immigrants, announced at a speech in South Texas.
Cruz called the guest worker idea more expansive than President Obama's decision to call off deportations for immigrants without criminal records who came here illegally as children - a policy that Cruz opposes and called "illegal."
Dewhurst, who has taken a more pragmatic approach to the issue of illegal immigration, avoided clarifying whether he currently supports such a program.
Cruz also distinguished himself from Dewhurst with his full-throated support for a border wall estimated by the Department of Homeland Security to cost $7.3 billion, or $6.5 million per mile.
Here is an excerpt from an interview with HotAir in May of 2012: I come from the perspective of someone who spent much of my adult life in law enforcement. In a post-9/11 world, it is absolutely unacceptable that we don’t know who comes over our borders. We need to do everything humanly possible to secure the borders. Electronic surveillance, a wall, helicopters and, most importantly, boots on the ground. If elected, the first thing I will do is triple the U.S. Border Patrol.
Lowder with Crowder posted a video today from Cruz in 2011 from his senate run - maybe you might look at it. All CRUZ supporters have known this. I realize DT said that Cruz stole his idea, in all actuality DT was still supporting amnesty/dreamers at that time.
