In a recent development, Senator Ted Cruz has made a significant announcement that could potentially alter the course of current events. Cruz expressed strong concerns regarding the current state of the U.S. Southern border, emphasizing the escalating situation and its implications for national security.
Cruz highlighted that on two consecutive days, the Border Patrol apprehended over 10,000 illegal immigrants each day, setting new records. He criticized President Joe Biden for his decisions related to border security, stating that Biden stopped the construction of the wall, reinstated the Catch and Release policy, and withdrew from the Remain in Mexico agreement.
These decisions, according to Cruz, have empowered criminal organizations and turned them into multi-billionaires.
The Senator further elaborated on the gravity of the situation by revealing that there are currently 22,000 illegal immigrants camped just south of the Rio Grande, poised to cross the border.
With the expiration of Title 42, a policy that allowed the U.S. to expel migrants to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Cruz warns of over 170,000 illegal immigrants preparing to cross the border.
Cruz’s announcement comes at a time when the nation grapples with complex challenges related to immigration, national security, and public health.
The Senator’s remarks underscore the urgency of the situation and call for immediate action to address the ongoing crisis at the Southern border.
