You can call Ted Cruz conservative as much as you want but he is not conservative if he is for open borders and/or crazy levels of legal immigration and H1B visas. Which he has favored in the past.
If Cruz gets nominated and elected he will owe the GOPe tremendously so he will do would they want as far “free trade” and immigration. I do not trust Cruz on these two issues.
Thus... Donald Trump is the only candidate who is conservative in the ways that I want to see. In correcting our stupid trade and immigration policies. Trump will build that fence on the Mexican border while Cruz will put in a token 100-200 miles of patrolled fencing and call it a day.

Trump is conservative in other ways too. I will leave this for later but I will say he is pro-Second Amendment and has often talked about this

You are obviously free to trust or not trust Cruz, but you are not free to throw out absurd claims against Cruz unchallenged. Cruz is as strong, or stronger than Trump on the border issue, even if he does not talk incessantly about his “Big Beautiful Wall”. Cruz says he will actually enforce the current laws and deport illegal aliens. He also does not support “touch back” amnesty like Trump does. I’ll take the Cruz position any day!!

Cruz was for closing the borders long before Trump.

Trump is also for H1B visas...he was against them but now is for them...same position as Cruz
