Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Vice President Harris’ Trip to El Paso

‘If the Vice President came to Texas without a concrete plan to secure our border and unwilling to reverse her administration’s failed immigration policies that caused the crisis, then her visit is nothing short of a glorified photo-op’

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement after Vice President Harris visited El Paso, Texas to survey the ongoing border crisis:

"I'm glad the Vice President finally made time in her schedule to acknowledge the humanitarian, national security, and public health crises her administration created -- albeit some 800 miles from the epicenter of the crisis. Communities like El Paso are struggling because of the damage the Biden-Harris administration has caused by opening the floodgates to human smugglers and drug cartels. But, if the Vice President came to Texas without a concrete plan to secure our border and unwilling to reverse her administration's failed immigration policies that caused the crisis, then her visit is nothing short of a glorified photo-op."
