During a podcast episode, Senator Ted Cruz described the dire situation at the U.S.-Mexico border caused by the Biden administration’s policies.
Cruz highlighted new guidelines that discourage pursuing illegal aliens, even if they pose a danger, leading to traffickers exploiting the situation.
“One of the things we learned, which I had never heard, which is in the past year, the Biden administration has put out new guidelines for pursuit of illegal aliens,” Cruz said. “This is illegal aliens that are running, that are trying to get away. And the guidelines, you’d have to effectively call them guidelines for non-pursuit, because they are told you cannot pursue illegal aliens if there is anything that could potentially endanger someone’s safety.”
We are at a greater risk today of a terrorist attack than we have been since 9/11, and it’s because of President Biden’s open border.#BidenBorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/oatkYPqw1h

He recounted a disturbing incident where a man claimed a young girl as his daughter, but it was clear he wasn’t her father.
“The one that was haunting for me was in the back there was this man, a grown man, maybe 35 years old,” Cruz said. “And he was with a little girl who was 10. And he said she was his daughter. She said he was her dad. It was obvious to everyone he was not her father.”
“He had his arm around her. And it was like locked tight, like he was holding her, almost so she wouldn’t run away,” he continued. “And the look of terror in that little girl’s face. She was so frightened of this large, sweaty man who had his arm around her and was saying he was her father. And there’s a frustration and helplessness that there’s nothing we can do, that nothing the Border Patrol can do. Because when they take them in, the Biden administration instructs them ‘release them.’”
“Biden canceled the DNA tests,” he said. “Like, you want to talk about one of the great scandals, these Democrats who prance around and say they’re so compassionate, they no longer test to find out if father and alleged daughter or father and alleged son are related because they don’t want to know, they don’t care. They are perfectly happy just leaving a pedophile with a little girl or a little boy who’s being abused.”
Cruz blamed the cancellation of DNA testing for the inability to determine if children were being trafficked.
He also criticized the Biden administration for neglecting the safety of vulnerable children and emphasized the helplessness of the situation.
