Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slammed the Biden administration’s border policies during a committee hearing on Tuesday.
The Senate Judiciary subcommittee on border security and immigration showcased steep political divides between attitudes of the Trump administration’s efforts to increase deportations of immigrants in the country illegally.
“No president has ever done what [Biden’s] administration did, which is say we don’t care about the law,” Cruz said of the Biden administration’s border security policy. “We are all about partisan politics and we’re going to let them all go. And God help the communities we release them into.”
Cruz said the Biden administration’s policies allowed immigrants to be released back into the country after they were found to be eligible for deportation.
“Gotaways are the illegal immigrants we know are here, we see signs of them, we see tracks, but they didn’t turn themselves in,” Cruz said. “Gotaways are much, much more likely to be child molesters, much more likely to be gang members, much more likely to be terrorists.”
Cruz mentioned the cases of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray, two women who were murdered in separate incidents by alleged “gotaways.”
The Texas senator also criticized former President Joe Biden’s calls for legislation to address immigration reform.
