Ted Cruz Visits Border, Captures Video of Cartels “Taunting” Border Patrol – WELCOME TO BIDEN ADMIN’S NIGHTMARE!
PATRIOTS 4 TRUTH | March 27, 2021
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) shared video from the southern border that shows individuals with flashlights on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande river yelling at Americans on the other side. Cruz claims these were drug cartel members and human smugglers taunting Border Patrol agents.
Cruz, along with Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), led a Senate delegation to the U.S.-Mexico border this week to observe how federal law enforcement is handling the migrant crisis. “We encountered human traffickers & cartel members tonight, yelling at us across the Rio Grande and preparing to cross,” Cruz said in a Tweet.
“So it’s past midnight, I’m standing on the shore of the Rio Grande — the water is right behind me. I’m down at the Texas border along with 18 senators. We made the trip to see the crisis that is playing out,” Cruz said in a second video.
Cruz said he saw families, including mothers nursing infants, “housed in outdoor holding pens where they were sleeping on the floor.”
Customs and Border Protection reported over 100,000 migrants at the southern border in February. That is the highest number for the month of February since 2006. There are currently more than 15,000 unaccompanied minor children in federal custody at the border.
Cruz blamed the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies for encouraging illegal immigration and strengthening the cartels.
“They know that under the current policy of the Biden administration they can flood over here — they’re getting paid $4,000-$5,000 a person to smuggle them into this country,” Cruz said. “And our policies, when they smuggle them in, the Biden administration releases them.”
“This is a humanitarian crisis, it’s a public health crisis,” Cruz said. He also pointed out that many of the illegal immigrants being released by the Biden administration are testing positive for COVID-19 “at a seven times higher rate than the American population.”
“It’s a national security crisis. And it’s time for the Biden administration to put an end to it and stop sanctioning lawless chaos on our southern border,” Cruz said.
