WATCH: Ted Cruz slams Biden’s immigration plan as being part of his ‘America last’ policy

Appearing on the Chris Salcedo Show to discuss Biden's immigration plan, Cruz told the Newsmax host "He (Biden) proposes every single illegal alien in the United States become an American citizen. Why? Because he believes the vast majority of them will vote Democrat. It's all about politics."

"But even more broadly than that, he proposes rescinding every single person who was deported over the last four years. If you were deported under Donald Trump, Joe Biden says, 'Come on back.'

"That's true even if you're a murderer, even if you're a rapist, even if you're a child molester, even if you have killed people as a drunk driver, Joe Biden has said, 'Well, if Donald Trump deported you, we want you in America.'"

Senator Ted Cruz continued to blast Biden's plan. "No reasonable, rational person at home is sitting there thinking, 'we need more murderers, we need more rapists,' and that’s what Biden's immigration plan says. It makes no sense.

"And you know, President Trump frequently centered his policies in terms of America first. The Biden administration policy seems to be centered around America last. Everyone else comes last in line behind illegal immigrants and criminal illegal aliens."

Since President Biden's administration took over the White House, the number of attempted illegal border crossings rose 28 percent in February alone. An executive order was signed to halt border wall construction, and the administration placed a 100 day pause on deportations.

Cruz told the Newmax host that the US Capitol is more secure than the border. "You look at the Capitol right now, the Capitol is surrounded with high fences, with razor wire, there are 5,000 National Guards carrying machine guns. It’s all political theater," he said.

"There's no good reason for them to be here. The Democrats are engaged in fear and what they want to say by having armed troops turning the Capitol into camp Baghdad is they want to say the 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are all a threat and a danger and we need soldiers to protect us from them. It is idiocy."
