The front line with ISIS isn't just in Iraq and Syria, it's in Kennedy Airport and the Rio Grande. Border security is national security.
Ted CruzEvery candidate is going to come to you and say they are the most conservative person that ever lived.
Ted CruzOne of the specific powers and responsibilities of the federal government is to secure the borders. Property can be taken with due process of law and just compensation.
Ted CruzI appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.
