Senator Ted Cruz released a disturbing video Friday night about overcrowding conditions at migrant detention centers near the U.S.-Mexico border.
“These are Biden’s cages. (Faces blur.) Thousands of children, in the midst of a pandemic, crowded to a capacity of 1500%. ” the Texas senator tweeted along with the video. “This is just one of Donna’s ‘pods.’ There are SEVEN more, just as full.”
Cruz led a delegation of 18 Republican Party senators to inspect the border crisis and the conditions of migrants.
“We just saw a corpse floating in the Gran River, someone who died crossing without a doubt a trafficker. That’s inhumane what’s going on. ”Cruz said in a Press conference flanked by his fellow legislators. “Joe Biden and the Biden administration have made decisions that make these people suffer and doing so in a pandemic is particularly irresponsible.”
Cruz made headlines that same day after posting pictures of what he said were “smugglers” on the Mexican side of the river.
“They’ve thrown the flashlights at us, they’re calling us,” Cruz said.
In recent weeks, the U.S.-Mexico border has seen an increase in migrants from South and Central America attracted by Biden’s promises to accept asylum seekers and hoping to reform immigration rules. immigration.
