Watch: Cruz Slams Border Chaos As "Nothing Less Than An Invasion"

Texas Senator Ted Cruz charged Thursday that the Biden administration is deliberately collapsing the Southern U.S. border and deliberately allowing an invasion to unfold.



Speaking to the media from the border, Cruz stated “We are witnessing an absolute travesty unfolding on our southern border,” adding “I am angry because this is deliberate!”
“This is a decision that was made by President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Congressional Democrats to open up the border to what is nothing less than an invasion,” Cruz bellowed.
The Senator continued, “Ask yourself, Why is President Biden not here? Why is Kamala Harris not here? Why is Elizabeth Warren not here? Why is AOC? She still owns the white pantsuit. Why is she not here with her head buried in her hands? Because they don’t give a damn about the dead bodies.”
“We’re witnessing modern day slavery,” Cruz said, adding “And maddeningly … the Biden administration has decided they want more.”

Cruz further noted “On Monday, we apprehended over 10,000 people on the border, the highest level in history. On Tuesday, we apprehended over 10,000 people on the border, again, the highest level in history. There are, right now where we’re standing, more than 22,000 people camped just south of the border, getting ready to come across just in this location. In less than a month, we’ve had over 35,000 Venezuelans cross illegally, just right here.”
The Senator continued, “Title 42 is expiring today. And you know what happens tomorrow, those numbers go up. This is an invasion and they want the numbers to go up. Let me say to the men and women from the Border Patrol who are heroes. They are extraordinary heroes. And we’re down here to tell them thank you, to tell them we love you, to tell them we got your back even as your political superiors are making it impossible for you to do your job.”
“The Biden administration is really proud now that they have apps on their phone, that when someone crosses illegally, they can fill out an application in two minutes. This is the Amazon version of illegal immigration!” Cruz added.
“They’re gonna make it fast and deliver them anywhere in the country. We’ve seen six and a half million people cross illegally since Joe Biden became president and the administration wants six and a half million to be 10 million, to be 12 million, to be 15 million, to be 20 million,” Cruz asserted.
“And the body bags that pile up, they can’t be bothered to worry about. I’ll tell you, the great state of Texas is on the front lines, the volume is overwhelming! It’s gotta stop!” Cruz urged.
Just hours before Title 42 public health order ended, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration from implementing a catch and release policy that allows for illegal immigrants to be set free without court dates.

Migrant parole releases BLOCKED by a federal judge tonight as a result of a lawsuit filed by the state of Florida. The Biden admin argued that if the releases were blocked, CBP would have 45,000 migrants in custody by the end of the month & would be “catastrophic”.

BREAKING: A federal court judge in Florida has BLOCKED the Biden administration from releasing migrants from Border Patrol custody without court notices under a memo signed this week. The block is in effect tonight and will last for 2 weeks. Expect the Biden admin to appeal.

Judge T. Kent Wetherell II imposed a two-week restraining order on the Biden administration policy, noting “DHS is enjoined from implementing or enforcing the parole policy contained in the May 10, 2023, Memorandum from US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, titled ‘Policy on Parole with Conditions in Limited Circumstances Prior to Issuance of a Charging Document (Parole with Conditions).’”The judge added “This TRO will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time to correspond with the expiration of the Title 42 Order and to give Defendants an opportunity to seek an emergency stay from a higher court.”
Wetherell further stated “It is inconceivable that [the Biden administration] waited until yesterday to formulate this policy, particularly since they have known for quite some time that the Title 42 Order was going to expire tonight.”
The move comes following a lawsuit from Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody.

That’s up to four years from now.
Incredible.
While migrant groups continue to steadily attempt to cross, Fox News reporter on the scene Bill Melugin says that the surge of thousands more has not yet begun.

Title 42 has officially expired and it is no longer policy at the border for the first time in over 3 years. I am at the edge of the river in Brownsville at the major crossing area right now - and so far no rush of migrants. Just campfires from migrant camps across the river.

One of my colleagues is across the river from me in Matamoros and says a moderate size group of 80-100 has formed and is considering crossing but is being told not to by TX soldiers on a megaphone on the U.S. side. Nothing crazy yet.

Texas continuing to take a much more direct approach these last couple of days - blocking migrants at the river’s edge after they cross into Brownsville illegally. The migrants continue to appear to be perplexed as to why they aren’t just being let in without any resistance.

Thanks to the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety. They are the only officials in America holding the line against an onrush of illegal immigrants.
