Cruz also distinguished himself from Dewhurst with his full-throated support for a border wall estimated by the Department of Homeland Security to cost $7.3 billion, or $6.5 million per mile.
Cruz defended the border wall proposal even if it meant expropriating private property—a position that the debate’s moderators, WFAA reporter Brad Watson and Gromer Jeffers of the Dallas Morning News, said contrasted with Cruz’s message of fiscal conservatism.

At least that's the good news. Hell, if it were a two horse race with Jeb & Trump, we'd be screwed beyond hope.
Trump or Cruz or everyone loses.

True dat.
Poor libbers, her butt hurt?
Her doesn’t know that TRUMP “ain’t” no Dewhurst.
Her thinks Tedsy should win ALL the games, and others should let him.
When you are a developer, you get loans.
Those loans were not for a campaign, they were for buildings.
Getting loans are not illegal.
Not to mention they are not the subject of this thread.
OK 2012. Where is the wall? Cruz has been in office for 4 years is there ONE MORE MILE OF WALL? Nope, Go Trump, Trump will build the wall and Mexico will paid for it.
Yep. That’s why he is losing here in Texas. He put more effort into soccer balls and TEDdy bears than protecting our border with a wall.
LOL!!! You should have made it larger text. If memory serves correctly think it has been posted here that “Cruz copied Trump” at least, at least a couple of times!! LOL!!!
BTW: From the roof on my Albuquerque, New Mexico house “I can almost see Old Mexico and there ain’t no wall there yet!!”
Stay the course ‘Miss’ libbylu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had land along the border, I would GLADLY give up some of it to get that danged wall built, no problem. I would be willing to GIFT it to the government.
OMG! OMG! We agree on something! It's a new day.... w00t... w00t!

Made me laugh.
I think your caps lock button is stuck...either that or you’re imitating Mark Levin in writing.
Ouch...better put some ice on that. :)
I think it’s actually Congress’ job (of which Cruz is part of) to pass legislation paying for it. Haven’t seen that happen during his term.
We have surveillance.
Its a simple cheaper concept.
We round em up and the Feds let em go.
That is the problem
Lol.
You really need to find another hobby. You really are an angry individual.
I would rather own mu land and patrol it to my own ends.
Now get off my lawn!!!
