Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Vice President Kamala Harris has no interest in securing the southern border and that the “hyper-partisan” border bill that mainstream media keeps holding up as an example of Harris's approach to so-called border security does nothing of the sort. Breitbart News Daily.
Cruz criticized Harris for not holding press conferences or giving interviews, even though interviews are scheduled to take place this week, and now the mainstream media is defending Harris and, bizarrely, claiming that she supports the border wall.
“They're trying to pretend that she wasn't the most liberal senator when she was in the senate. They're trying to run away from all the policies that she adopted. So one of the first things she did was support Donald Trump's no-tipping bill. By the way, in the senate, I'm the author of the no-tipping bill. Now, all of a sudden, for the first time in history, Kamala Harris wants to cut taxes. On the border wall, all of a sudden, Kamala Harris is in favor of building a wall. By the way, my opponent, Colin Allred, is running the exact same campaign as Kamala Harris. He hides in Joe Biden's basement. He barely gives interviews to the media,” he said, noting that it had been 63 days since his opponent held a press conference.
“He doesn't answer the question,” he said, noting that Auld and Harris were answering for “the same reasons.”
“They do that because they can't stand up for their record. They can't stand up for their record of open borders, they can't stand up for their record of supporting police budget cuts. So they don't want to ask questions, they don't want to answer questions. They want the corporate media to carry the water for them. So I think it's incumbent on the rest of us to focus on the facts, to focus on how Kamala Harris has opposed the wall over and over again. She was the border chief for four years. Collin Allred voted for Kamala Harris' open borders over and over again. Sadly, Mike, we know the corporate media will repeat the lies because they want to deceive the voters,” he said, dismantling the border deal Democrats continue to negotiate.
“This is a really terrible bill. It's a highly partisan bill written by Chuck Schumer that was designed to make the border crisis worse,” Cruz said, explaining some of the reality of the bill.
“So here are the facts of what's in this bill. Number one, this bill codified capture and release. It put Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' lawless policy of capture and release into federal law. It also put instant work authorization into law for illegal immigrants. It put taxpayer-funded lawyers into law for illegal immigrants. It provided billions of dollars to sanctuary cities and non-government organizations that support human traffickers. And the worst part of this bill is that it normalizes 5,000 illegal immigrants a day,” he said, adding that this figure equates to “1.8 million illegal immigrants every year, permanently,” to put it in perspective.

Cruz noted that the bill's lead author, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), acknowledged that the bill would not close the border.
“Chris Murphy said this bill won't close the border, it won't close the border. He was honest. Kamala Harris said she supports this bill because she wants open borders to become the law. Mike, compare that to what Donald Trump did when he was in office. When Donald Trump was president, I worked with him to secure the border and we had incredible success, and as a result, by the end of Trump's first term, we had the lowest illegal immigration rate in 45 years,” the Texas senator explained.
“Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Colin Allred inherited the lowest illegal immigration rates in 45 years. They deliberately breached the border, resorted to capture and release, and those numbers have now skyrocketed to the highest rates in history,” Cruz added.
