Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed the U.S. Supreme Court this week for siding with the Biden administration in its fight to stop Texas from being able to secure its border with Mexico.
The remarks, which Cruz made on his “Verdict” podcast, come after the Supreme Court ruled that the administration could cut through or remove sections of razor wire that Texas has placed along the border to stop the millions of illegal aliens who have poured into the state under the Biden administration.
“Look, this is a horrible decision. I’m angry about it,” Cruz said. “It is deeply disturbing. Fact number one: we are seeing an invasion at our southern border — 9.6 million illegal immigrants have crossed in under Joe Biden. It is deliberate. He wants this to happen. It is the worst illegal immigration in our nation’s history.”
Cruz noted that the decision was reached by the Court’s left-wing justices along with Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh all voted against the Biden administration’s request.
“There is a heavy presumption in Washington, in federal courts, which is that the federal government gets to trump the states,” Cruz said. “And that is part of the Constitution is the supremacy clause that says the Constitution, the federal laws, are the supreme law of the land. I think it is a real problem that John Roberts is a creature of Washington. I don’t think he understands what is happening at the southern border. I think Amy Coney Barrett is a law professor from Indiana. I don’t think she has any understanding of what’s happening at the southern border.”
“What I don’t think the justices have a real appreciation for is how horrifically bad it is, how lawless it is, what the Biden administration is doing,” he continued. “There’s never been a president who refuses to follow the law like Joe Biden did.”
Cruz said that Biden wanted the crisis that he created on the border and that he has no intention of fixing the problem.

“He wants more illegal immigrants. And I said, for Pete’s sakes, Biden is actively litigating against the state of Texas, to stop Texas from securing the border. That’s what they want,” he said. “They want this invasion. And that’s exactly what the Biden administration is doing, with the emphatic support of essentially every Democrat member of the Senate and every Democrat member of the House.”
WATCH:
The Supreme Court's decision blocking Texas from securing its border is horrible.
The Court does not appreciate the lawlessness of Biden's refusal to enforce border security laws. He is destroying our country and enabling an invasion.https://t.co/hdWGvGlJCR pic.twitter.com/VFy8ffdb1u
