Cruz was against the wall until he saw that the wall was working for Trump then he got on board
...ahhh, NO, that’s a lie! And you know that since any 1st grader can google and see interviews with Cruz in 2011!!! when Cruz said he is for Walls, Fences, Aircraft and 4x more border agents to secure the borders, including the TX border that he visited and strategized with LEOs for solutions. Nice but dishonest try...
ymmv
This was Cruz’s wall.
In April 2012, during a Republican primary debate for the Senate seat Cruz now holds, he was asked whether he would support building a fence along the southern border. “Yes,” Cruz said. “We have an illegal immigration crisis, and we have to do everything humanly possible to secure the border. That means fences, that means walls.”
“I think we need to use every tool humanly possible,” Cruz said in a follow-up interview with Texas ABC affiliate WFAA. “I don’t know the specific cost, but I guarantee you it is far less with the cost of illegal immigration in this country.”
In 2013, Cruz voted in favor of an amendment by Sen. John Thune that would “require the completion of the 350 miles of reinforced, double layered fencing” along the southern border before “registered provisional immigrant status may be granted” and also the completion of “700 miles of such fencing before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be adjusted to permanent resident status.” (The amendment failed.)
