Baloney! I used to live 40 miles from the largest border crossing in CA. You know, the one where all the tunnels are found! I was a huge supporter of Duncan Hunter and his fence.
I'm glad Trump has brought the conversation to a boiling point. However, I believe that Cruz will actually do something about it. He was saying the same things but being ignored by the media. Trump is the summer flavor of the month. I think he will fizzle out, much like Newt, before the primaries are over, no matter how much I'm enjoying the show right now.
Trump and Cruz are the only two candidates I'd vote for in this field. But Cruz is mostly echoing what Trump is saying and Cruz did not make any strong point about addressing illegal immigration and building an actual border wall in the weeks before Trump declared.
Ted's been very dodgy on illegal immigration overall, and his "streamlining legal immigration" sounds like allow so many to immigrate legally that few will have to come illegally.
Ted's having trouble gaining traction and needs to do something to gain enough support to be sure he is in the first debate with the top candidates.
