Senator Ted Cruz released a disturbing video late on Friday about conditions of overcrowding in migrants’ detention centers near the US-Mexico border.
“These are Biden cages. (Blurred faces.) Thousands of children, in the midst of a pandemic, huddled at 1,500% of capacity ”. the Texas senator tweeted along with the video. “This is just one of Donna’s pods. There are SEVEN more, equally full. “
Cruz led a delegation of 18 Republican senators to inspect the border crisis and the conditions of migrants.
“We just saw a corpse floating in Rio Grande, someone who died without a doubt crossing a drug dealer. This is inhumane what is happening. ”Cruz said in a Press conference flanked by his fellow legislators. “Joe Biden and the Biden administration have made decisions that are causing these people to suffer and doing so in a pandemic is particularly irresponsible.”
Cruz made headlines that day after tweeting images of what he said were “smugglers” on the Mexican side of the river.
“They are pointing their flashlights at us, they are shouting at us,” said Cruz.
In the past few weeks, the United States’ border with Mexico has seen a wave of migrants from South and Central America drawn by Biden’s promises to accept asylum seekers and expectations that he will reform immigration rules.
