Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) are set to lead a Senate delegation to the southern border. The two senators announced they will accompany a group of lawmakers at the Rio Grande Valley next week to give them a tour of the border and hold a roundtable with local leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The number of apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border is set to hit a record high.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden halted wall construction, implemented catch-and-release, rescinded Trump era-policies to control entry, dismantled enforcement and deportations all while promising amnesty for illegal aliens. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of having a handle on the situation, Biden created a crisis. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m0TXr2fNIo\">https:\/\/t.co\/m0TXr2fNIo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1371530923477499907?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the response by the Biden White House to the surge, saying the region was on track to see more people trying to enter than any time in the last two decades.<\/p>\n<p>However, Republicans are continuing to blame the latest quandary on Biden\u2019s soft immigration stance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe safety and security of Americans and our border is the job of the president,\u201d House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said. \u201cHe is the one who created this and he is the one who can fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It just 2 months President Biden has created a crisis at the border by:<br \/>\u2022 Halting Wall construction<br \/>\u2022 Placing a moratorium on deportations<br \/>\u2022 Promising a pathway to citizenship to 11 million illegal migrants<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m in El Paso, Texas.

Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Monday whatever message the Biden administration sent to migrants was interpreted the wrong way. The West Virginia senator is now one of a few Democrat lawmakers who have called the situation a \u201ccrisis,\u201d amid the White House\u2019s continued refusal to use the term<\/p>\n<p>This came as Republicans have consistently insisted the administration is mishandling the rising numbers of migrant arrivals and illegal immigration as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sad part about all this, didn\u2019t have to happen,\u201d McCarthy stated. \u201cThis crisis is created by the presidential policies of this new administration.
