The Republicans will send back the illegal aliens who have been allowed to cross the Southern border into the U.S. under the Biden administration if they regain the majority in November, according to Sen. Ted Cruz.
“What we should do is secure the border, enforce the law, stop illegal immigration and send those who are here back to where they came from,” Cruz said at the recent Texas Youth Summit. “That's what works. We don't have to speculate. We don't have to hypothesize. Under President Trump, we had the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years.”
Cruz was reacting to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's move in sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts last week where former President Obama maintains a posh vacation home.
“Sending illegal immigrants to blue cities is something I proposed a year ago,” Cruz told Legal Newsline. “I filed legislation a year ago to send illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, to Nantucket, to Cupertino, California, to Palo Alto, California, to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, to all the places where rich liberals vacation and sip Chardonnay and, at the time, ironically, the county commissioner in Martha's Vineyard said he welcomed my suggestion and that they would energetically welcome illegal immigrants there because they wanted Martha's Vineyard to become a haven.”
However, the migrants were quickly relocated from Martha’s Vineyard to the mainland and subsequently Cape Cod, according to media reports.
“It is a crisis, but it's an even greater crisis in the rest of the country and especially Texas that is bearing the brunt of this massive invasion and that is seeing the human tragedy,” Cruz said. “You go to South Texas and every hospital is full and overflowing. Every jail is full and overflowing. The schools are overflowing. Diseases are rising. Crime is rising. Children are being physically and sexually assaulted. Women are being sexually assaulted. Farmers and ranchers are finding dead bodies on their properties week after week after week.”
The fourth annual Texas Youth Summit was sponsored by Power the Future, Patriot Mobile, PublicSq, and BitWallet and took place at the Woodlands Grace church.
Featured speakers at the two-day conference included former President Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), Author Candace Owens, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia). Donald Trump Jr. lectured remotely.
“November is going to be a fantastic election,” Cruz added. “I think Republicans are going to retake both houses of Congress. I think we're going to retake the House with a sizeable majority, and I think we're likely to retake the Senate. Right now, the corporate media is desperately trying to push a narrative that the Democrats are resurging.”
While Trump has not yet announced his decision to run for the presidency in 2024, Greene introduced articles to impeach Biden.
"I really believe governors should be able to deport illegal aliens," she said. "Right now, we have a federal government that isn't upholding our laws and so that's why I think Joe Biden should be impeached. I've got a whole list of reasons he should be impeached, but that's just one of them. It’s his complete failure to protect our country.”
Like Congressman Dan Crenshaw’s Youth Summit, the Texas Youth Summit caters to Texans between the ages of 12 and 26 years old.
“Truth is being completely erased and the truth is under attack and that is one of the worst things for kids growing up because the truth is foundational to who they are and how they grow up,” Greene added. “We have to fight for it.”
