I know, never mind all that he is tub-thumping religion.
Nobody was taking illegal/legal immigration seriously until Trump came on the scene. For Ted Merkel Cruz it was 500% increase in h-1B visas and giving Obama unilateral authority to increase immigration through Obamatrade (basis his TPA vote... sneaky, devious and a knife in the back of American workers)

Cruz didn’t just support the massive increase in the broken H-1B program. HE WROTE THE U. S. Senate AMENDMENT TO DO IT. Tossing Americans like Disney workers out of a job was Cruz’s position for 2 years until Trump came out against H-1B and “Principled Conservative” Cruz flopped on the issue.
Apparently you have been out of the loop. Ever hear of the "wall" debates and passage of the legislation to build it so many years ago? Ever hear of the Minutemen in Arizona (I was one)? Ever hear of the wall being defunded by the Dim Congress? While all that and more was going on, Trump was producing his stupid, "Apprentice" show. He said nothing about it at the time. Trump is a flip-flopping opportunist.
My bona fides: I was member of FAIR as far back as 1987. When in Navy, living close to the border in mid-80's, I had illegals going through my gate to further their trek north. There were many Congress-critters who spoke out loudly about the illegal invasion even back then. I could go on, but do your own research. Trump is late to the party.
BTW, ever hear of the California double fence that decreased illegal crossings by about 95%? I've posted entire articles how effective it's been. Do some research at FAIR and CIS. Also, Trump is not going to get Mexico to pay for a double fence or wall. We can afford it ourselves since it doesn't have to encompass the entire border. Only needs to be in areas that have towns/staging areas with highways close to the border. There are hundreds and hundreds of miles of desert wasteland that are impassable because of the distance from the border to a highway.
Sheesh, this issue has been at the forefront of Congressional committees and meetings and public understanding for decades now. The Don did NOT bring this to national attention.
