Friend,

What is occurring at the border is heartbreaking and tragic. 

It is a humanitarian, national security, and public health crisis of epic proportions. And it was largely avoidable, had the Biden-Harris administration not played politics with human lives.

When my Senate colleagues and I went down to the border several months ago, we were in shock at the utter devastation caused by the administration’s heartless and cruel open border policy. It was way worse than we even expected. 

Worse, like a true totalitarian regime, the Biden-Harris administration blocked the press from covering our trip to the border or entering any of the border facilities. 

Had the mainstream media been able to cover it, their eyes would have been opened and their narrative changed. It’s a giant tent city. The holding facilities, which were built to hold 250 people, have nearly 4,000 people in them. 

We saw cages upon cages of little boys and little girls practically stacked on top of one another. There wasn’t 6 feet or 3 feet or even 3 inches that separated them from each other. And there certainly weren’t any COVID testing, quarantine, or vaccination requirements, despite them illegally entering our country from across the world.

While the Biden-Harris administration kept us locked in our homes—unable to reopen businesses or schools, go to church, or resume “normal” activities—they turned a blind eye to the lack of social distancing and public health and safety precautions taking place at the border.

They’re pulling from the old DNC playbook: DENY. DISTRACT. DISMISS.

On her pulpit 800 miles away from where the ACTUAL border crisis is, Border Czar Kamala Harris said that immigration “cannot be reduced to a political issue. We’re talking about children, we’re talking about families, we’re talking about suffering. And our approach has to be thoughtful and effective.”

It’s funny hearing that from her NOW, after my Republican colleagues and I sounded the alarms about the devastatingly dangerous conditions at the border MONTHS ago. WE are the ones who are caring about the children, the families, and the suffering.

Where was Border Czar Harris then?

The Biden-Harris administration’s failed policies opened the floodgates to human smugglers and drug cartels running the entire operation without any repercussions. And it has led to a record number of children coming in unaccompanied—facing abandonment, abuse, and sexual assault.

VP Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden are putting their political interests ahead of our American interests… and they must be stopped.

Independent Women’s Voice has been leading the fight for safe borders and sensible policies, but they need your help. 

They have an important deadline coming up, and every dollar you give will be directly invested in their efforts to take back our country from the tyrannical actions of this current administration.

Invest today in a safer, stronger country by giving to IWV. 

Thank you, and God bless America,

Senator Ted Cruz
