FWIW, Cruz when asked about Reagan striking a bargain to keep invaders (my term, not theirs( in the US, didn't answer all that well.

This is why the border has to be secured FIRST.

The interview of Cruz was much more harsh than the one Trump got. But nowhere near as what Trump got at the beginning of his ascent.
