TED CRUZ (R-TX):&nbsp;I\u2019ll tell you, I\u2019ve been to the border. I\u2019ve been to the Biden cages. For four years, Democrats went on and on and on, the corrupt corporate media went on and on and on about kids in cages. You couldn\u2019t turn on the evening news without \u2018hearing kids in cages.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What they didn\u2019t tell you is Barack Obama built those cages. And today under Joe Biden, the cages are bigger and they\u2019re more full than they were before. Mr. President, every Democrat who stood up and lamented kids in cages, in the House of Representatives, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, has a famous photo of her grasping her head by the kids in cages. Well, I\u2019m going to give a simple challenge for Representative Ocasio-Cortez and for every Democrat in this body. Go see the Biden cages with your own eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ve seen them in the Donna tent facility with over 4,000 people, with little boys and little girls on top of each other. Just a couple of weeks ago, when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And all the Democrats who talked about this, if they don\u2019t go, if they don\u2019t denounce the Biden cages, then they\u2019re telling you that they\u2019re hypocrites, that they didn\u2019t believe it when they said it, that they didn\u2019t care about it when they said it, that it was all politics. It wasn\u2019t about their kids.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him.&nbsp;Why does Kamala Harris, who\u2019s supposed to be the border czar, she\u2019s supposed to be in charge of this, why won\u2019t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say nothing to see here. 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio. Nothing to see here. Anyone want to know what Joe Biden\u2019s favorite ice cream flavor is? That\u2019s the news!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Nevermind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Nevermind when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river, who died trying to cross illegally. Nevermind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, \u2018I won\u2019t let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it\u2019s dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.\u2019 Nevermind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at roundtables, how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You want to understand what\u2019s happening? Say there\u2019s no crisis? Come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County. Brooks County in South Texas, it\u2019s just north of the border. Brooks County over and over and over again. There are dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they\u2019re not nice guys. They\u2019re not humanitarians. They don\u2019t give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain in the summer heat and over and over again the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property where the traffickers have abandoned them. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
