A prominent conservative senator challenges a reporter’s biased narrative on the border crisis, exposing the truth behind the blame game.
Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz fearlessly confronted a reporter who attempted to shift blame onto Republicans instead of President Joe Biden’s administration for the escalating border crisis. While visiting the border for the end of Title 42, Cruz engaged in a heated exchange with the reporter, highlighting the Democrats’ false narrative and emphasizing the significant decrease in illegal immigration during the last year of the Trump presidency.
Cruz accused the reporter of spreading lies and pointed out that Biden’s political decisions since taking office have directly caused the current border problem.

The Biden administration has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum as officials warn of a potential surge of around 700,000 migrants rushing the southwest border when Title 42 expires. Border Patrol intelligence reveals that approximately 700,000 migrants are already waiting in Mexican shelters, eager to cross into the United States. Migrants crossing the Darién Gap, the land route connecting South and Central America, have increased five-fold, according to reports from border officials.
With the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-related regulation that allowed for the prompt rejection of migrants at the border, the Biden administration plans to expand the catch-and-release system. This policy will likely result in hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants being allowed into the country, with little assurance that they will appear for immigration hearings scheduled years in the future. Unfortunately, most never show up.

Jonathan Lines, a supervisor on Arizona’s Yuma County Board of Supervisors, highlights that currently, 40 percent of illegal migrants crossing in Yuma are immediately turned away due to Title 42. However, with the regulation’s expiration, the burden on Border Patrol and customs agents will increase, leading President Biden to order around 1,500 active military troops to the border. Rather than defending the country, these troops will be assigned processing duties, freeing up agents for enforcement duties.

The appointment of Vice President Kamala Harris as the border czar raised eyebrows, considering her previous criticism of then-President Donald Trump’s decision to send troops to the border in 2018, which she deemed “political” and “inappropriate.” It is worth noting that Biden appointed Harris to this role in March 2021, a month after taking office, after the migrant crisis had already escalated due to Biden’s reversal of numerous border security policies implemented by Trump.

The border crisis can be attributed to several factors, including the Biden administration’s termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, which required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases were being processed. Furthermore, halting the construction of the border wall has been criticized for creating the perception of an open border, exacerbating the crisis.
Senator Cruz’s impassioned defense against false narratives sheds light on the need for increased border security, enforcement, and support for Border Patrol agents. The consequences of these policy choices have led to an alarming surge in illegal immigration, placing a significant strain on resources and posing a threat to national security.
