Who should we let into our country?
The first-term Texas senator would also triple the number of border patrol agents, increase aerial surveillance around the border and finish a biometric tracking system for immigrants entering the country legally.
Rand Paul criticized his GOP presidential rival Sen.
Billionaire Donald Trump took credit for all the furor.

Ted Cruz, who previously said he wanted to increase legal immigration fivefold, has now changed his mind.
