FULL BRIEFING: Ted Cruz Speaks To Reporters In San Salvador, El Salvador

Published | Video Starts at 16:30

The same is true in the United States. When our illegal border crossings drop drop 99%, the results speak for themselves. I represent the great state of Texas. The United States has a southern border that is 2,000 miles long. More than half of it, 1,200 miles of that is the state of Texas. There's no state in the United States who felt the pain, the harm, the consequences of illegal immigration more than the state of Texas over the last four years. (16:30–16:35)
