U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas appeared on Frontline with Carl Higbie on Newsmax Wednesday, September 6th to weigh in on the U.S. / Mexico Border Crisis.
“Of our nation’s two-thousand-mile border with Mexico twelve-hundred of those miles are along the state of Texas. I spend a lot of time on our southern border, and Carl as bad as your viewers think it is, I promise you it is a thousand times worse. … Over seven-million illegal immigrants have crossed under Joe Biden. … Senate Democrats and House Democrats … don’t care about the children they brutalize, the human traffickers, the women being sexually assaulted, and sadly they don’t care about the over one-hundred-thousand Americans that died last year of drug overdoses – seventy percent of which came from Chinese fentanyl flooding across the southern border.” Senator Cruz said.
On Friday, September 8th, Senator Cruz posted the followoing on Twitter:
In one day, 15,000 illegal aliens poured through the border into Del Rio, where the town’s population is 30,000.
