Sen. Cruz: President Biden’s Refusal To Enforce Immigration Laws Yields Devastating Results

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As President Biden's open borders agenda worsens the desperate humanitarian crisis at our southern border, it is clear the Biden administration's intentional roll back of immigration enforcement is yielding devastating consequences.

Despite a federal judge's order blocking President Biden's unconstitutional deportation pause and a major influx of illegal immigrants coming to the border, the Washington Post reported the number of illegal immigrants taken into custody by immigration authorities has fallen more than 60%.

On Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection was forced to shut down highway checkpoints in order to redirect personnel, leaving only skeleton crews to deal with security at these critical locations.

This weekend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott was forced to take matters into his own hands, promising to deploy Texas resources to help secure the border and keep Texans safe.

President Biden's handling of the border crisis has resulted in criticism from his own party and even foreign governments.

Reuters has reported that even the Mexican government has expressed concern that President Biden's policies have stoked illegal immigration and are inviting more opportunities for cartels and gangs to further expand their smuggling operations into the United States.

Bottom Line: President Biden's refusal to enforce our immigration laws makes a mockery of the rule of law while making our nation far more vulnerable to crime and violence. Sen. Cruz will continue to fight for solutions that will secure our border and uphold the rule of law.
