During a press conference on Monday Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) called for Congressional action to solve the ongoing crisis at America’s southern border.

“This is a crisis. And unfortunately this is a man-made crisis. The responsibility for this crisis lies directly on the United States Congress, on loopholes that Congress has put into law that are encouraging far too many people to make this arduous journey,” the Senator declared.

He noted that the number of single men arriving with children has skyrocketed since 2014. The current system rewards those who bring children, so people exploit that loophole—and Sen. Cruz blames Congress:

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

One of the greatest loopholes that exist is in our Asylum laws, which those crossing the border have been coached on what to say when they arrive.
If this isn't addressed, nothing will change much.

WE know Ted,  but NOTHING is being done.  Only Congress can close those loopholes.  We have unwilling RINO's and liberal leftists who refuse.  It means votes for them in 2024.  Nothing more.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
