I didn’t know Cruz wanted to build a wall. Oh that’s right, he started talking about it about a month ago.

From 2013:

“A Senate committee rejected an immigration-legislation amendment offered by Sen. Ted Cruz today that would have added significant security resources along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The amendment proposed tripling the number of Border Patrol agents stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border and quadrupling equipment, “including cameras, sensors, drones and helicopters,” within three years. And the 700 miles of border fence required by a 2006 law would need to be finished.”

Cruz’s senate race had border control and illegal immigration as one of it’s main focus points.
