Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has urged Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan to provide support for border communities in Texas that have been affected by the influx of illegal immigration in recent months.
In a letter to McAleenan (pdf), Cruz said the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, which saw a surge of family units illegally cross into the United States, has placed “substantial burden” on communities on the Texas border that have been “absorbing much of that overflow.”
