Sen. Ted Cruz is showing off his hypocrisy after it was announced that President Joe Biden will sign an Executive Order today to toughen up border security. Cruz is one of the Republicans who voted against the bipartisan border bill in April, saying, "We don't need a border bill."
Trump instructed Republicans to vote against it, so they did his bidding as usual. That means they voted against adding more than 1,500 new Customs and Border Protection personnel. The GOP geniuses voted against more than $20 billion for border security. The bipartisan agreement would have provided critical resources at the border and significant policy changes. They voted against America to side with Trump.
Cruz is hoping for a terror attack on Biden's watch, and it's disgusting to watch. And now he's having a sh*t fit over the Executive Order, calling it "fake" on Fox News even though he voted against legislation to secure our border.
"This immigration order that's coming tomorrow, Joe Biden's going to stand up and say, we're securing the border, and you know what I'm going to predict in the next five months, we're actually going to see the border numbers go down a little bit," Cruz said as if that's a bad thing.
"Now, don't be deceived by that," he said. "It's just like the gasoline price is going down a little bit. They're doing this right before the election. They're doing it. So the useful idiots in the corporate media will say, gosh, Biden solved the problem."
"Nothing else to worry about here," he added. "It is entirely fake, and we have had 11 million people invade this country because Joe Biden and the Democrats want 11 million people to invade this country."
He's wrong, but at least he's consistent. Biden was forced to issue the E.O. after the GOP rejected the border bill. Texas Rep. Troy Nehls said in January that he would not back the border bill because it would help the President.
"Let me tell you, I'm not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden's approval rating," he said. "I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man's dismal approval ratings. I'm not going to do it. Why would I? Chuck Schumer has had H.R. 2 on his desk since July. And he did nothing with it."
And there you have it. The party of stupid strikes again.
