<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) said this week that President Joe Biden&#8217;s border crisis is so dire, it makes former President Barack Obama&#8217;s border crisis seem &#8220;minuscule&#8221; by comparison.</p>
<p>Cruz&#8217; remarks, which he made during his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast, came after U.S. Customs and Border Protection released numbers late last week showing the more than 302,000 illegal aliens were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-shatters-record-with-historic-number-of-illegal-aliens-encountered-in-december" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encountered</a> on the U.S. southern border last month, by far the highest number in history.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, illegal immigration was a problem under Barack Obama, was a serious problem under Barack Obama, but I gotta say, compared to now, it&#8217;s night and day,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;The Obama immigration problems seem quaint, that they are minuscule compared to what is happening now. The order of magnitude &#8212; I&#8217;ve joked multiple times that Joe Biden has done something I thought was impossible. He&#8217;s made me miss Barack Obama.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz said that outside of DACA, Obama &#8220;by and large, followed the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;For people crossing illegally into the country, Barack Obama deported millions of people,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;If you remember, during the Obama administration, the Left got very mad. They called him the &#8216;deporter in chief.&#8217; And that made a difference. What has happened here under Joe Biden, and we&#8217;ve never seen a president do this in over 200 years of our nation&#8217;s history. There has never been a president that utterly and completely defies U.S. law, and lets people go by massive numbers.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;So for example, there&#8217;s an authority under federal immigration law called parole authority, which is, you can release people in limited and special circumstances,&#8221; Cruz continued. &#8220;Under Obama, he would parole roughly 5,000 illegal immigrants a year. Under Trump, it was a comparable number. How much Biden is doing? About 800,000 a year. He took Obama&#8217;s 5,000 a year and he blew it up to 800,000. They&#8217;ve made a decision, &#8216;We are going to allow an invasion.'&#8221;</p>
