WATCH: Sen. Ted Cruz Enraged At The Border— Biden, Harris, Democrats: 'They Don't Give A Damn'

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), dubbed 'Lion Ted' by Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec, held a press conference in Brownsville, Texas near the Mexican border hours before the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday evening. His comments were explosive.

Cruz spoke to show support for the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol and excoriate the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats for what he called a deliberate "decision that was made," to "open up the border to what is nothing less than an invasion."

"We are witnessing an absolute travesty unfolding on our southern border," Cruz began in the press conference that he posted to Twitter.

"On Monday we apprehended over 10,000 people on the border, the highest level in history. On Tuesday we apprehended 10,000 people on the border, AGAIN the highest level in history. There are right now where we're standing, more than 22,000 people camped just south of the border, getting ready to come across," he said. "Just in this location in less than a month we've had over 35,000 Venezuelans cross illegally, just right here! Not counting the rest of the border. Every day, just right here they're encountering 90-100 Chinese nationals."

"For anyone who doesn't have their globe nearby, China is not immediately to the south of the United States," Cruz explained. "But 90-100 a day are crossing illegally on this border being smuggled in by Mexican drug cartels and I have to say I am angry."
 

"Because this is deliberate!" the Texan boomed. "This is a decision that was made by President Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris and Congressional Democrats to open up the border to what is nothing less than an invasion."

The senator challenged the press to ask themselves why President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were not at the border though Ocasio-Cortez "still owns the white pants suit." He continued rhetorically "Why is she not here with her head buried in her hands?"

Cruz then answered his own question: "Because they don't GIVE A DAMN about the dead bodies."

He recounted that in a Senate hearing six weeks ago, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas couldn't answer how many illegal immigrants died in the past year crossing the border. Mayorkas didn't know it was 853, "But he can't be bothered to worry about that."

"The talking point of the Democrats, which this media reporter happily parrots, is, 'gosh, the problem can't be fixed,'" Cruz said in response. "There's one little problem with that. It is an utter and complete lie."

"In 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, we had the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. You ask what I have done? I've championed the men and women of Border Patrol, I championed securing the border, I Championed Remain in Mexico, and we turned this problem around and solved it," Cruz said raising his voice.

"Joe Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years, and the first day in office. He made political decisions to cause this problem, and you should be ashamed of yourself. If you're a reporter, and you're not reporting facts. You're telling lies!"
