<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said during an interview over the weekend that President Joe Biden and the Democrats in Washington, D.C., refused to use the levers of power at their disposal to stop millions of illegal aliens from entering the U.S. southern border because they &#8220;wanted this invasion to happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz made the remarks during a Sunday CBS News interview on &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; with guest host Major Garrett while talking about tariffs that Trump has threatened to enact against Mexico and Canada to stop the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.</p>
<p>Cruz said that the threat of tariffs against the two countries has &#8220;immediately has produced action.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen the president of Mexico stand up and promise that she is going to work hand in hand with the president of the United States, President Trump, to secure the border,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I will tell you, representing Texas, we&#8217;ve seen four years of an invasion at our southern border. Let me ask you, Major, why hasn&#8217;t Joe Biden done this? Why hasn&#8217;t Joe Biden actually stood up and used leverage to secure the border?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And the reason is, Joe Biden and the Democrats wanted this invasion to happen,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I got to say, this is a promise that I believe President Trump is going to deliver on and deliver quickly. We are going to secure the border. This is about using leverage to get Mexico and Canada to cooperate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz noted that Trump&#8217;s threat of tariffs &#8220;was explicitly [about] leverage&#8221; and that leverage was how the U.S. got Mexico to agree to the remain-in-Mexico agreement, which helped secure the southern border.</p>
