TRANSCRIPT
....Tomorrow night, 18 senators are going to be traveling down to the Southern border, traveling down to Texas, to see firsthand the crisis that is unfolding, to see firsthand the over 100,000 illegal immigrants who were detained last month, to see the over 15,000 children that are in custody of the Biden administration right now, to see the conditions where the Biden administration is releasing illegal immigrants into the public who are testing positive for COVID at a rate seven times higher than the U.S. population. It is a crisis. It is a crisis that was created by the Biden administration, by their own policies. As soon as Joe Biden was sworn in as President, he halted construction of the wall, he re-instituted catch and release, and he ended the Remain in Mexico Policy. And this crisis is unfolding and getting worse and worse and worse by the day.
...
18 of us will be heading to the border tomorrow. Were going to thank the Border Patrol agents for what theyre doing on a daily basis and to hear from them what theyre up against in their fight. Were going to then spread out and do a midnight patrol with border agents tomorrow night along the border between Mexico and Texas. Were going to examine the areas where the wall construction has stopped.

Going with him. That says a lot. Cruz can round up his like minded senators for more photo ops. What solutions would they have to help this situation?

They only hang with him (nobody else will) to line his pockets for favors. He thinks they like him.
