Cruz's Simple Flat Tax

Immigration
"As President, I will stop illegal immigration, build a wall that works, triple border security, and put in place the surveillance and bio-metric tracking to secure the border. Border security is national security. We need to stop Obama’s amnesty and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers."
-Ted Cruz
Gun Control
“We ought to do everything we can, for example, to be prosecuting the felons and fugitives who are trying to illegally buy guns,” Cruz said.
Healthcare
If I am elected President, I will repeal Obamacare and propose commonsense reform that makes health care personal, portable, and affordable.
