Cruz supports a ban on Muslim immigration until the vetting process is verifiable. This is exactly the same position as Trump.
Not so, here is Cruz’s policy on immigration of Muslims.

From his current web page:

Says the same thing, ban on immigration from certain states, but not a blanket ban.
Not....the... same.......as...Trump
Many of his positions have become exactly the same as Trump's — AFTER Trump diagnosed the issues, put them forward forcefully and the public responded with great enthusiam. Sometimes Ted even copies the exact same terminology Trump has put out there first. Trump is an original thinker and visionary. Ted is a tactician and reactionnary. Together, they would have made a great team, and Ted could have gone on to run for president next time and the next. But he got greedy and arrogant instead.
