Bipartisan Support Exists in US to 'Secure' Mexico Border - Senator Cruz

Wide bipartisan agreement exists throughout the United States to improve security at the US-Mexico border and halt illegal immigration, US Senator Ted Cruz said via Twitter.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Ted Cruz is a US Senator from Texas and a contender for President of the United States in the 2016 race. Cruz has served as US Senator since 2013, and was Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 until 2008.

I think there is wide bipartisan agreement outside of Washington that we need to secure the border and stop illegal immigration #USHCC

Cruz noted his opinion does represent the Hispanic vote since he received 40 percent from Hispanic Americans in the US state of Texas in 2012.

And I also believe there is broad bipartisan support outside of Washington for streamlining legal immigration #USHCC

In Texas in 2012, I was proud to receive 40% of the Hispanic vote. #USHCC
