Sen. Cruz accusing Biden of intentionally trying to prevent the American people from seeing the Biden administration’s “failures” on the border.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote to Biden over the weekend after no reporter were allowed on a lawmakers’ tour of a facility and saw a large number of migrants being kept under a bridge – and Cruz himself was challenged for taking pictures.
Cruz and Sen. John Cornyn led a Senate delegation tour of the Texas-Mexico border last week in response to the immigration crisis surging. The facility he is touring is located in Donna, Texas. Cruz has called on Biden’s administration to strengthen the border and reverse policies that Cruz says is fueling a surge at the border.
Last weekend, the Texas leader tweeted a video of a woman he identified as a Biden administration staffer blocking him from recording a migrant facility in Donna. In his Sunday tweet, Cruz said President Joe Biden sent a political operative from DC to block their cameras.
“Please give dignity to the people. Please respect the people, the rules,” the staffer can be heard telling Cruz while blocking his camera.
“This is not a zoo, sir, please respect the people,” the staffer told Cruz. “Please don’t treat the people like this.”
Cruz also released pictures that show a packed migrant facility. He said these are the pictures that “the Biden administration doesn’t want the American people to see.” He added the matter is a humanitarian and a public health crisis.
“This past Thursday and Friday, eighteen of my Senate colleagues and I visited the border and witnessed firsthand the staggering public health and humanitarian crisis caused by your policies,” Cruz wrote.
“We understand the heartbreaking tragedy unfolding at the border because we were there. We saw it. But the American people are unable to see it because you remain intent on keeping the media from shining a light on your administration’s failures.”
In the letter, Cruz gave major details about the facility, writing a tent built to house 250 children housed 4,200 instead. He said there were “cages after cages” of little boys and girls lying side-by-side. The senator ends the letter by asking Biden to allow the media into the facility. He said administrations before Biden did, and he should as well.
Cruz urged Biden to “stop denying reality” and to “confront the consequences of your policies,” adding that the media should be allowed to accompany him during trips that he plans to make on Monday to other facilities that are housing migrants.
“President Biden, the American people deserve to see the truth,” he said.

Biden is the President of the United States. He created this border catastrophe/crisis which includes “illegals” who are COVID-19 positive infecting innocent Americans. And yet, as the president and leader of the free world he has yet to bother and exert himself into going to the border, as any commander and chief would have done well before now, to review and see the crisis that he has created and inflicted upon this nation in the American people. Even his VP, Kamala Harris has refused to go to the border either. So obviously we have no leadership in the US. Thank God for Senator Cruz and the rest of the Senators and House members who have gone to the border to determine/witness how much of an actual disaster it actually is. Biden’s staffer had a lot of unmitigated gall to try to block Senator Cruz from reviewing anything. All she did was make a fool out of herself. Biden has restricted the news media access to what’s happening at the border. So what is he hiding? The whole world is laughing at Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the rest of the socialist/communist Dems who are a total embarrassment and disgrace to the United States and themselves. This is not leadership it’s the farthest thing from it. Biden has given “illegals” even those carrying COVID-19 full access to the United States so why haven’t any of the illegals been shipped to Delaware, where he lives, San Francisco where Pelosi lives, New York where Schumer lives, etc. That’s only fair. Biden is spending millions of taxpayer’s dollars to put “illegals” up in hotels while the American people are struggling simply to survive.
