Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) commented on Friday about three ways in which he believes the Biden administration is failing on immigration.
"I've been to the border many many times over the last ten years, and I've never seen it even close to this bad."
"The numbers are through the roof and .... it is the direct result of decisions Joe Biden made in his very first week as president. His first week as president, he made three critical decisions."
Cruz goes on to delineate exactly which three decisions these were, and what their effects were:
"Number one: he immediately halted construction of the border wall. That leave huge holes where it wasn't finished being built, and through those holes we have illegal immigrants that are streaming every night."
"Number two: he reinstated the failed 'catch and release' policy. That results in people being apprehended and given a court date sometime in the future and let go, and inevitably, most of them never come back."
"And, number three: he ended the 'remain in Mexico' international agreement; this was the most important of the three."
"President Trump had negotiated with the government of Mexico an agreement that immigrants from Central America who crossed illegally through Mexico would remain in Mexico while their asylum cases were proceeding," Cruz said.
"It worked. It produced results. Last year, we had the lowest illegal immigration in 45 years, and on week one Joe Biden ripped that agreement in pieces and caused the border crisis we're seeing right now."
