Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz says legislation that allows for the streamlining of the border bridge process marks a massive win not only for Texas, but for the country.
"It is an enormous victory for South Texas and for all of Texas and for the country," Cruz told Fox News Digital after a press conference in Laredo, Texas. "It is a victory for Texas farmers and ranchers. It is a victory for small businesses and manufacturers. It is a victory for consumers who will have cheaper prices at the grocery store and the department store. It is a victory for national security."
