Trump, Donald J. (2011-12-06). Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again (p. 146). Regnery Publishing. Kindle Edition.
By Dec. of 2011 when this book was published, Cruz had already run his successful Senate campaign, and one of the issues he ran on was border security by building a wall.
âFor people that have been here for years, that have been hard workers, have good jobs, theyâre supporting their family â itâs very, very tough to just say, âBy the way, 22 years, you have to leave. Get out.â Iâm one of the worldâs very conservative people, but I have to tell you on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out thatâs lived in this country for 20 years?â
- Donald J. Trump, June 18, 2012.
That statement says nothing about building a border wall.
In fact, I bet you’d find similar statements from John McCain and Marco Rubio.
