You left out the part where he’s for eminent domain to secure the border.

Thanks for reminding us that Cruz was for building a wall long before it was a glimmer in Trump’s eye.

If ‘building a wall’ or immigration was SO important to Cruz,why didn’t he bother to mention it in his announcement speech to run for president?

What the candidates talked about being of importance in their prez announcement speeches: http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3395582/posts?page=136#136

Cruz’s entire speech was about ‘IMAGINATION’...

Cruz on Trade: Imagine instead of economic stagnation, booming economic growth.
(Not specifically ‘trade’, but as close as he got to it!)

Cruz on Immigration: Instead of the lawlessness and the president’s unconstitutional executive amnesty, imagine a president that finally, finally, finally secures the borders.
And imagine a legal immigration system that welcomes and celebrates those who come to achieve the American dream.

Cruz on 2nd amendment: Instead of a government that works to undermine our Second Amendment rights, that seeks to ban our ammunition..... imagine a federal government that protects the right to keep and bear arms of all law-abiding Americans.

Cruz on Terror, Isis, refugees, Middle East: Imagine a president who says “We will stand up and defeat radical Islamic terrorism...”
“... and we will call it by its name.”

THAT’s it!
But he mentioned CUBA FIVE TIMES!
“torture in Cuba, growing up in Cuba, he flees Cuba, free Cuba from the dictator,
Cuba was not at a peaceful time.”
