Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Senate Democrats this week as impeachment proceedings for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have begun in Congress&#8217; upper chamber.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson.
“Democrats [are] willing to throw the Constitution in the trash in order to avoid any national attention on the disaster that is playing out on our southern border,” Cruz said in speaking about the millions of illegal aliens that have come into the U.S. under President Joe Biden.
Cruz said that he believes that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is going to try to cover up the border crisis by trying to avoid having a trial in the Senate because &#8220;he doesn&#8217;t want the House managers to present any evidence.&#8221;
&#8220;Schumer and the Democrats are terrified of the evidence of the suffering of the people who&#8217;ve died, of the people of the children who&#8217;ve been sexually assaulted, of the women who&#8217;ve been sexually assaulted, of the fentanyl deaths and the drug overdose deaths,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t want that evidence put before the American people.”

Cruz continued, “Why does Chuck Schumer want to avoid a trial? Because he&#8217;s desperate to protect the Democrat senators on the ballot from the consequences from the deaths and suffering and people who are suffering misery, because of their open border politics and policies, which they intend to continue, and Schumer, this is all about political camouflage.”

Verdict with Ted Cruz

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden this week for Iran&#8217;s unprecedented attack on Israel over the weekend, saying that the Biden administration paid for the missiles and drones that Iran used.
Cruz made the remarks during a broadcast of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1779858066051039723">podcast</a> with co-host Ben Ferguson in response to the attack.
&#8220;It was the first direct attack on Israel from Iran in history and it is an extraordinary escalation of what has been going on,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;This tragically is the result of the Biden Foreign Policy of Appeasement and the entire Democrat Party backing away from Israel and sending billions of dollars to Iran. In a very real sense, the missiles that Iran fired at Israel, were paid for by the Biden administration.&#8221;
Cruz said that the administration allowed the &#8220;sanctions on missiles in Iran to expire.&#8221;

&#8220;They did this in the midst of Iran, funding Hamas, funding Hezbollah, funding October 7, and launching over 100 attacks on US servicemen and women,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;On October 7, more than 1,200 Israelis were murdered. That included roughly 30 Americans who were murdered. We still have American hostages; we still have Israeli hostages. Not only that we have three servicemen and women, the Iranians have murdered in their more than 100 attacks. And what does the Biden administration keep doing? Shoveling cash to this theocratic, lunatic Ayatollah.&#8221;

Israeli officials said that Iran crossed a major red line with its attack and would pay a steep price for the terror inflicted against the Jewish state.
They said that despite Iran’s claims that it was only targeting military infrastructure, Iran also targeted “major civilian areas” and that a direct military response would be required.

Joe Biden

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped President Joe Biden this week for creating the most dire threat environment that the U.S. has faced from terrorists since September 11, 2001.
Cruz made the remarks on his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the consequences of Biden&#8217;s open border policies and his weakness and appeasement toward the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world&#8217;s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
“I think there&#8217;s no question about it and the risk of a major terrorist attack in the United States is higher today than it has been any time since September 11, 2001,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;And on top of that, we have the news breaking this weekend, USA Today reported, quote, &#8216;The US is on high alert for a potential attack on Israel or on American facilities in the Middle East in retaliation for an Israeli strike in Syria that killed Iranian commanders.'&#8221;
“So, we have Iran the leading state sponsor of terrorism, promising a decisive response, funding millions and millions of dollars to fund Hamas terrorists, to fund Hezbollah terrorists, to fund Palestinian Islamic Jihad, to attack directly American forces in the Middle East,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And we have on top of that, Joe Biden and the Democrats and by the way, it&#8217;s not just Joe Biden, it&#8217;s every congressional Democrat who has rubber stamped these open border policies, who have given the Iranians and Hamas and Hezbollah a red-carpet invitation to come into this country.”
Cruz noted that U.S. officials have said that there have been tens of thousands of drones from Mexican drug cartels that have been flown over the U.S. southern border to assist in criminal drug trafficking and human smuggling.
&#8220;At a time when Americans are directly threatened with terror, Joe Biden has given an invitation for the terrorists to come to America,&#8221; Cruz added.

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) slammed lefist Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, this week over his demand that the U.S. give billions of dollars to Latin American countries and assist Marxist regimes or else Mexico will continue to allow illegal aliens to flood the U.S. southern border.
Cruz&#8217;s remarks come after AMLO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amlo-claims-he-ended-corruption-in-mexico-not-worried-about-hundreds-of-political-assassinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> during an interview that aired on Sunday that he ended corruption in Mexico and that the hundreds of political assassinations that are carried out every year in his country are not a threat to democracy.
AMLO demanded earlier this year that if the U.S. wanted help in combating the millions of illegal aliens entering through the southern border, the U.S. must give tens of billions of dollars per year to countries in Latin America, give work visas to 10 million illegal aliens in the U.S., lift sanctions on socialist Venezuela, and end the embargo of communist Cuba.
&#8220;Notice his demands. His demands are end the embargo against Cuba. And end the sanctions against Venezuela,&#8221; Cruz said on his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast.
&#8220;He&#8217;s standing with communist dictators in Cuba and Venezuela,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s who he aligns himself with is the hard-Left anti-American Communist axis through Latin America. That&#8217;s who AMLO is. So it&#8217;s not surprising. That&#8217;s who he&#8217;s always been.&#8221;
“Is he trying to extort America? Of course,&#8221; Cruz said before comparing AMLO&#8217;s remarks to the mob trying to shake down a business. &#8220;&#8216;Nice little bar you got here, shame if something happened to it. Boy, a fire would do real damage.’ He said, ‘Well, we&#8217;ll keep these migrants coming. Unless you pay us off. Just you know, a bag of cash each week would be good. I&#8217;ll send my guys to pick it up.’”

Cruz said that AMLO — whose policy for dealing with drug cartels is &#8220;hugs not bullets&#8221; — is not afraid of President Joe Biden because Biden &#8220;is weak.&#8221;
“Look, Marxist gonna Marxist. That&#8217;s who they are,&#8221; he added. &#8220;He is going to engage in anti-American rhetoric. The only thing he responds to his strength. This Biden White House is not capable of strength against leftist, against enemies of America. They&#8217;re only capable of strength against our friends. They&#8217;re only capable of undermining allies of America.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sparred with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) over her recent comment claiming that RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) was in itself &#8220;not a crime.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez made the initial statement during a Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee regarding the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. She was attempting to argue the witness — former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski — into a corner by challenging him to name what specific crimes under the RICO umbrella he believed had been committed.
Frustrated by his unwillingness to simply concede her point, Ocasio-Cortez insisted that RICO was a &#8220;CAT-E-GOR-Y&#8221; of crimes rather than a specific crime.

And while some responded on X to say that Ocasio-Cortez was correct in her assessment, Cruz was not one of them.
&#8220;This is bizarre. RICO — the Racketeer Influenced &amp; Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968—is most assuredly a crime. It often results in massive felony sentences. And yet @aoc — eager to defend Joe Biden — insists it’s not a crime,&#8221; Cruz posted.

AOC Picks A Fight With Ted Cruz Over RICO Comments

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Donald Trump

Hunter Biden

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) highlighted an explosive story this week about an illegal alien who was apprehended at the U.S. southern border this month who admitted to being a member of one of the world&#8217;s largest Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO).
U.S. border officials <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-alien-caught-at-border-says-hes-a-hezbollah-terrorist-planned-to-make-a-bomb-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> 22-year-old Lebanese national Basel Bassel Ebbadi on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. He told agents he was a member of the Hezbollah terrorist group and that he was planning to make a bomb in the United States.
“That is what happens when Joe Biden and the Democrats open up our southern border,&#8221; Cruz said during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson. &#8220;And it is inviting the inevitable, which is what just happened. Hezbollah terrorists crossing our border with the intention of carrying out acts of terror in the United States.&#8221;
Cruz then spoke about the explosion in the number of individuals who have been apprehended on the southern border who are on the terrorist watchlist.
During the most recent year, more than “172 people on the terror watchlist&#8221; were arrested, Cruz said. &#8220;Now that&#8217;s troubling. But what&#8217;s much more troubling is the hundreds of thousands of gotaways. Understand that 172 are the people they apprehended &#8212; that gives you an indication that the volume coming across of terrorist or potential terrorists has exploded, has dramatically, has exponentially increased. But the really serious terrorists are the ones that don&#8217;t get apprehended, are the ones that are gotaways.”
“I&#8217;m very worried about ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred more Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists coming over,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And intending to do something worse than 9/11, intending to do something on the order of magnitude of October 7, or even worse. This is a clear and present danger. And it is caused daily by Joe Biden and congressional Democrats, leaving our border wide open.&#8221;
He noted that in the current fiscal year, there have already been 59 additional illegal aliens caught at the border who are on the terrorist watchlist.

Cruz Sounds Alarm Over ‘Clear And Present Danger’ To U.S. That Biden Caused

Border Crisis

Terrorism

U.S.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) says a council of federal inspectors general is pushing the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda, charging that the institution is encouraging Offices of Inspectors Generals to illegally consider race in its hiring in a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/03/2024.03.11-Letter-re-CIGIE-DEI-Practices-Trainings.pdf">letter exclusively obtained</a> by The Daily Wire.
The letter from Cruz is addressed to Mark Greenblatt, the Chairman of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), in response to an October 2023 report on the council’s DEI agenda. The report from CIGIE, an independent government agency, specifically encourages Offices of Inspectors General to consider race in their hiring practices and administer unconscious bias training to employees.
“Inspectors general play a crucial role in holding federal agencies in check and protecting taxpayer dollars,” Cruz noted in the opening of his letter. “That is why it is so disappointing that, instead of focusing on its important mission, CIGIE is blindly advancing the Biden administration’s partisan policy goal of diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Senator Cruz’s letter comes as federal agencies have worked to embed the DEI agenda throughout the bureaucracy following a June 2021 executive order from President Joe Biden that <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/06/25/executive-order-on-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce/">cemented the ideology</a> in the government.
The letter says that CIGIE “provides a comprehensive manual for creating and implementing race-based employment practices at every federal [Office of Inspector General] when employment decisions should be based on merit.”
“Considering skin color in employment practices is immoral, and claiming that such actions are necessary to advance DEI — an inherently racist ideology — does not change that,&#8221; Cruz writes. &#8220;It is also plainly illegal.&#8221;
Cruz in his letter outlines the guidance given by the CIGIE, which includes the development of “quarterly reports on professional development, attrition, rewards, retention, and promotion action by race,” as well as annual “human capital planning discussions with senior leaders, hiring officials, and managers to develop a targeted hiring and recruitment plan” for increasing ‘demographic diversity.'&#8221;
The guidance also tells Offices of Inspector Generals to track workforce demographics, “develop plans of action, and “improve the diversity of applicant pools.”
In addition to alleging that the policies are illegal, Cruz contends that they are “unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.”
Cruz says the group is pushing DEI training on employees who might not readily accept the far-left agenda. He specifically highlighted the guidance’s support for “‘continuous education’ on DEI principles to get ‘people who are ambivalent or actively resistant to [DEI] programs’ to ‘buy-in’” as well as “annual mandatory unconscious bias training for leaders, managers, and staff involved in staffing, recruitment, and hiring activities.” But the guidance goes beyond just advocating for DEI training, instead recommending that Offices of Inspectors General include DEI elements &#8220;in annual performance plans for senior executives and hiring officials.&#8221;
Cruz ultimately demanded that the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency provide a number of different documents pertaining to its DEI agenda, including an “ally newsletter,” training materials on DEI, unconscious bias, and Critical Race Theory, and a New Manager Course that includes DEI concepts.
Biden officials in federal agencies have been aggressively working to institutionalize the DEI agenda in the inner workings of the bureaucracy. The Internal Revenue Service, for example, recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mandatory-irs-diversity-training-includes-material-from-trans-academic-who-called-for-death-of-whiteness">hosted a diversity training</a> that utilized material from an extreme transgender academic who called for the “death of whiteness. State Department Secretary Anthony Blinken told employees not to use <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secretary-of-state-blinken-warns-of-misgendering-as-global-conflicts-rage">gendered language</a> like “mother/father,” “son/daughter,” and “husband/wife,” and to avoid “misgendering.”
Large sums of taxpayer dollars have also been used to push the far-left ideological agenda, with the Pentagon spending as much as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pentagon-slated-to-spend-nearly-270-million-on-diversity-agenda">$270 million on DEI initiatives</a> under Biden. The United States Air Force Academy has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/air-force-academy-highlights-transgender-officer-at-leadership-summit">promoted transgenderism</a> while the National Security Agency created a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-leaked-nsa-doc-reveals-massive-woke-glossary-pushing-critical-race-theory-gender-ideology-on-govt-employees">DEI glossary</a> with terms like “settler colonialism” and “transmisogyny,” the Daily Wire exclusively reported.
Even federal contractors have embraced the far-left ideology, with one major Pentagon contractor even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-federal-contractor-paid-billions-by-pentagon-set-to-host-robin-diangelo-hold-white-fragility-book-club">hosting</a> Critical Race Theorist Robin DiAngelo for a speaking event and providing copies of her book “White Fragility.”
But while the far-left agenda has taken root throughout our federal agencies, former President Trump has signaled that he will gut the bureaucracies and potentially shut down DEI offices if he is reelected.
As president, he could reimpose an executive order called <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/07/22/trump-presidency-schedule-f-federal-employees">Schedule F</a>, an action that would enable the president to fire thousands of bureaucrats who have influence over policy. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,” Trump said at a rally, <a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/03/trump-threatening-return-and-expansion-schedule-f/363145/">touting</a> the plan.
Others are preparing to fill in the gap left by outgoing officials, assembling a personnel database of those who might serve in the next administration through the <a href="https://www.project2025.org/">Project 2025</a> Presidential Transition Project, an initiative from the Heritage Foundation that seeks to “pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.”

Senator Ted Cruz

EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Says The Government Watchdogs Are Going Woke

Inspector general

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) said this week that the only campaign promise President Joe Biden has delivered on as president is the complete dismantling of the U.S. southern border.
Cruz made the remarks after visiting the border with former President Donald Trump this week. Biden also went to the border, but only after Trump announced that he was going. Biden visited a section of the border that has had little illegal immigration while Trump visited the epicenter of the border crisis that Biden caused.
&#8220;Joe Biden campaigned on open borders, he campaigned on saying, I will not deport people, I will not enforce our laws,&#8221; Cruz said on his podcast after touring the border. &#8220;And as president, that may be the only campaign promise he has honored. If you look at what is happening, at the end of the day, you cannot defend what is happening on our border.&#8221;
&#8220;When you look at kids in the eyes, if you have a shred of humanity, it horrifies you,&#8221; Cruz later added. &#8220;And understand, why does Joe Biden not go to the border? Because he didn&#8217;t want to see them. On this trip to Brownsville, did he see a single child who was sexually abused? No. Did he see a woman who was violently raped? No. Did he see the families of the victims of those who had died of drug overdoses?&#8221;
&#8220;In the last year, more than 100,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses. 70% of that has been Chinese fentanyl coming across our southern border. Did Joe Biden listen to those moms, listen to those dads, listen to parents crying over the loss of their kids? No,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;This was a photo op that was sanitized. Lysol was used everywhere. It was &#8212; it&#8217;s like a Potemkin village. It&#8217;s like a Hollywood set, designed to say we&#8217;re at the border. Nothing to see here. Nobody suffering, nobody being raped, nobody being assaulted, nobody dying. And it is profoundly, profoundly dishonest.&#8221;

Cruz: There Is ‘Only One Campaign Promise Biden Has Honored’

Illegal Immigration

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the media and Democrat politicians are doing everything they can to hide the fact that the man who is accused of murdering a Georgia college student last week is an illegal alien because the political Left views illegal aliens as future Democrat voters.
Venezuelan Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal alien, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-arrested-for-murder-of-georgia-nursing-student-was-illegal-immigrant-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> on Friday for the murder of Laken Riley, whose skull was reportedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-suspect-in-laken-riley-murder-accused-of-disfiguring-her-skull">crushed</a> during the violent attack on February 22. Her body was later discovered in the woods.
Cruz was asked during an interview on Wednesday why the media was not reporting the fact that the suspect in the case is an illegal alien who entered the U.S. as part of President Joe Biden&#8217;s border crisis — the worst illegal immigration crisis in U.S. history.
&#8220;Because they support the open borders we have,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;The 10.6 million illegal immigrants who have crossed under Joe Biden — Democrats and the media both view all of them as future Democrat voters. And so if people have to die, if children have to be assaulted, if women have to be raped — they are willing to accept that as collateral damage.&#8221;

&#8220;The odds of a major terrorist attack in America today are greater than they have been at any point since September 11, 2001,&#8221; Cruz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwAG6mMYAo8">continued</a>. &#8220;Every time I am on the border, when I talk to Border Patrol agents they tell me they are concerned about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists crossing over and trying to commit another mass murder like October 7.&#8221;

Cruz: Media, Democrats Covering Up Illegal Alien Crimes Because Illegals Are Viewed As ‘Future Democrat Voters’

Georgia

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson gave new details during an interview this week about his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/longtime-democrat-dallas-mayor-switching-to-gop-american-cities-need-republicans">decision to switch</a> from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party.
Johnson made the remarks during an interview on Sen. Ted Cruz&#8217;s (R-TX) &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson.
Johnson highlighted his background growing up poor to working class parents and being raised in a family where faith was central to their everyday lives. He said that while his family was not political, they had a very strong sense of right and wrong and put a priority on treating others well, working hard, and following the law.
&#8220;And so, I think I was always politically in a weird posture with the Democratic Party, because at its core — and I didn&#8217;t understand this at the very beginning — &#8230; you sort of inherit the Democratic Party as a cultural heirloom, when you&#8217;re African American in this country, it sort of gets handed to you, as part of who you are,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I had more phone calls with people distraught about this party switch than I ever would have gotten if I had told people that I was actually leaving the church. There&#8217;s no question about it. There&#8217;s no doubt about it. I will say that loudly and on the record. I had more panicked phone calls from people genuinely concerned about what I was doing and how I could do this than I would have gotten if I&#8217;d said I just don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m into this Jesus thing anymore.&#8221;
&#8220;At the Democratic Party&#8217;s core, as I was saying, is a belief that how things turn out for you in this country are largely determined by things that are outside of your control, the race you&#8217;re born, the neighborhood you&#8217;re born in, it just kind of excuses away your failures and excuses away your successes to something that&#8217;s out of your control,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;If you&#8217;re successful and you&#8217;re white males, it’s because of course you were. And if you&#8217;re unsuccessful as an African American, it&#8217;s both the deck was stacked against you. And I just wasn&#8217;t a person who ever believed that. And that wasn&#8217;t how I was raised. And it&#8217;s not what I was taught. But it was the overarching political philosophy of my party.&#8221;
Johnson said that politicians need to be more honest about what the &#8220;winning formula&#8221; is often times when it comes to dealing with policy issues.
&#8220;The winning formula ends up being exactly what the conservative ideology would tell you,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It has to do with taking upon yourself the responsibility for yourself, and not believing that the Democratic party or any party is there to save you. And the Democratic Party wants you to believe you can&#8217;t get there without them.&#8221;

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) said this week that he believes corporate media is starting to turn on President Joe Biden because there is increasing belief that he could lose this November in a rematch against former President Donald Trump.
Cruz made the remarks during the latest broadcast of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about Biden&#8217;s declining poll numbers and the closing window to replace him as the Democrat nominee.
&#8220;I do think we are seeing the corporate media starting to turn on Joe Biden, and we&#8217;ve talked at length, listen, it was this podcast that drove news and drove news across the country, when we said months ago that I believe there was a very significant chance the Democrat Party would pull the cord on Joe Biden, yank him out and replace him with Michelle Obama,&#8221; Cruz said.
“The Democrats and the media would be perfectly happy if they could wave a wand and put Joe Biden there four years or more. They&#8217;re not worried that he&#8217;s incompetent to be president,&#8221; Cruz later added. &#8220;They&#8217;re not worried that the Department of Justice says he&#8217;s not competent to stand trial. They&#8217;re not worried that he&#8217;s such a weak commander-in-chief that our enemies are attacking our allies and threatening America. They&#8217;re not worried that he lacks the competence to do the job. There&#8217;s only one thing they&#8217;re worried about: that he would lose. If they believed he would win, they&#8217;d be perfectly fine to Weekend at Bernie&#8217;s him, to stand him up as a corpse and say Joe Biden&#8217;s there and let&#8217;s keep pulling the puppet strings. Their concern is they&#8217;re worried he&#8217;s going to lose.&#8221;
A few moments later, Cruz said that if Democrats are unable to replace Biden and he becomes the nominee, the media will shift again to calling people &#8220;ageist and racist&#8221; for questioning Biden&#8217;s ability to continue serving as president.

The roughly <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1755287316799561872" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$95 billion</a> foreign aid package that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-passes-95-billion-foreign-aid-bill-despite-opposition-from-over-half-of-republican-senators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> through the Senate after dispensing with a controversial immigration deal that was attached to it was &#8220;all about political camouflage&#8221; for the Democrats, according to Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX).
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-passes-95-billion-foreign-aid-bill-despite-opposition-from-over-half-of-republican-senators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More than half</a> of the Republicans in the Senate, including Cruz, opposed the bill that would allocate funds to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other foreign priorities — including humanitarian aid — in an early-morning vote on Tuesday.
&#8220;I think the foreign aid bill that was rammed through by Democrats in the Senate, I think it&#8217;s going nowhere in the House. They know that,&#8221; Cruz said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6347159470112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an interview</a> with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo.
&#8220;The bill was all about political camouflage,&#8221; he said, adding that it gives Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his fellow Democrats &#8220;the ability to pretend to want to do something on the border, while at the same time doing nothing.&#8221;
The national security supplemental legislation was previously coupled with a bipartisan immigration deal, but those provisions ended up being dropped after a group of Republicans and leftist senators <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-fails-to-advance-border-security-compromise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocked the larger bill from advancing</a>.
Cruz argued that Senate Democrats, who narrowly control the chamber, and President Joe Biden &#8220;are accomplices in this chaos that is unfolding in our country&#8221; after citing issues related to illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The Senate <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1182/vote_118_2_00048.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted 70-29</a> to pass the standalone foreign aid bill, which has the backing of the Biden administration, with mostly votes from Democrats but also some from Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Cruz released a <a href="https://www.cruz.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-cruz-votes-against-funding-bill-that-fails-to-secure-the-texas-mexico-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said he could not &#8220;in good conscience&#8221; support the legislation because it lacked &#8220;real, substantial additions to bolster&#8221; security at the U.S.-Mexico border — a view aligning with what House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-rips-senate-foreign-aid-package-for-lacking-real-border-security-provisions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has said</a>.
The GOP-led House passed a more stringent border security bill called H.R. 2 last year, but the Senate refused to take the legislation up for consideration, with Schumer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-senate-negotiator-hopes-for-border-deal-this-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissing</a> what he described as &#8220;partisan right-wing demands.&#8221;
When pressed on H.R. 2 on Sunday, Cruz said, &#8220;Senate Democrats want to do nothing to fix the border. They want to do nothing to turn the economy around. They want to do nothing to stop the crime we&#8217;re seeing.&#8221;
