Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has highlighted the inhumane conditions at Joe Biden\u2019s detention centers for illegal immigrants. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Cruz asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas why Biden, Kamala Harris and other Democrats have failed to visit those detention facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2018, Democrats falsely blamed President Trump for keeping migrants in cages that were built under Obama in line with the 1997 Flores Settlement. Cruz said it\u2019s now time to hold Biden accountable for those cages.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz questioned whether or not any Democrat senator on the committee has even been down to see the Biden cages. Cruz also added how migrant women and children have faced unsanitary conditions, sexual assault and human trafficking as a result of Biden\u2019s failed policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tedcruz<\/a> calls out Biden, Harris, and other Democrats for refusing to visit Biden\u2019s border cages. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8wBnNRDgLM\">pic.twitter.com\/8wBnNRDgLM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1460661215856893954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, other GOP senators gave Mayorkas a hard time over his handling of the southern border.

Congress must pass legislation to fix it,\u201d said Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) didn\u2019t let the secretary off the hook so easily as he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really broken if a million people have been ordered to leave and they haven\u2019t left,\u201d stated Graham.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he thought his term has been successful and to grade himself, Mayorkas gave himself an \u201cA.\u201d Mayorkas hem and hawed when Graham then asked if he believed Afghanistan was a successful withdrawal.
