Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is gravely concerned about the southern border, laying the blame of illegal immigration, and drug and human trafficking at the feet of Democrat policies.

Having visited the southern border on multiple occasions, Mr. Cruz said, “if you haven’t seen it firsthand, you can’t understand what’s happening.” On a midnight tour at the edge of the Rio Grande with Border Patrol and other members of Congress, he’s witnessed “dozens of cartel members, screaming across the river and taunting in Spanish, ‘you can’t stop us,’” he said.
