Cruz attacks Biden border policies

 Daily Caller:

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz lamented President Joe Biden’s “open border policies” and “Democrat hypocrisy” during a Wednesday press conference addressing the border crisis.

The Texas senator attended the conference along with Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd. Cruz said the border policies implemented by the Biden administration are causing “suffering, chaos, and misery.”

“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ open border policies are producing suffering, chaos and misery,” he said. “They are producing Americans being killed by the scourge of fentanyl. They are producing little boys and little girls being repeatedly sexually assaulted by human traffickers. They are producing crime and death. And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ open border policies are making your families less safe.”

Cruz called the high influx of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border—which hit over 2 million in 2021—is a “manmade problem.” He then called on the president and Harris to come to the southern border and witness the atrocities for themselves, including the fentanyl crisis and sex trafficking.

“Kamala, come to the Rio Grande Valley. Joe Biden, come to the Rio Grande Valley, Joe Biden, come to the Biden cages,” he said. “We’ve seen Democrat hypocrites go on and on about kids in cages when President Trump was president. They never mentioned that Barack Obama built the cages and the cages are bigger and more full under Joe Biden.” (RELATED: Ted Cruz Tells Biden That ‘The American People Deserve To See The Truth’ About Border Crisis)

He then said the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he serves as a member, has not address the migrant crisis since Senate Democrats only want to discuss amnesty because an “illegal alien is a future Democratic voter.”

“It’s cynical, because their view is if more children have to be physically and sexually assaulted to help them at the ballot box, so be it,” the senator said.

He added that every state in the country is a border state due to migrants being transported to different areas and major cities across the country. He called Biden and Harris the “last mile of the human trafficking network.” The migrants boys are often in major debt and are required to work for the drug cartels who smuggled them across the border in every major city in the country, while the girls are forced into a “living hell” of involuntary sex slavery, he said.

The Democrats in Washington do not care about the border residents or the impact of Biden's open borders that facilitates the drug cartels and human traffickers.
