Ted Cruz: As President I'll Secure The Border

we've got to get serious about securing the borders and and and a few now when you talk with law enforcement you know I represent Texas we've

got border with Mexico when you go visit with law enforcement when you visit with border patrol agents about what works

the number one most effective tool that works is boots on the ground that's why filed legislation to

triple the border patrol I was very glad to see the Donald Trump agrees with that proposal the legislation I filed would also increase for fall the

fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft that we use technology to monitor the border check to supplement the

boots on the ground then beyond that forty percent of illegal immigration doesn't come across the border at all at least over stays so

the legislation I introduce would put in place a strong biometric exit entry system so we can stop visa overstay and

finally we should put in place a robust E. verify systems you can't get a job without demonstrating your here illegally it's not that we don't know how to solve illegal

immigration what is missing is the political will to get it done and as president I will get it done we

will secure the borders
