School choice and the border crisis were the key topics of discussion for Senator Ted Cruz this week. In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Cruz criticized President Joe Biden's handling of the border situation, calling it a deliberate dismantling of border security. He stated, "We went from the lowest rate in 45 years to right now, today, the highest rate of illegal immigration in history ever." Cruz also expressed concern over Biden's request for more funding to process illegal immigrants and his plans to distribute them across the country.

Later in the week, Cruz attended a press conference where he addressed the suffering at the border. He criticized the proposed border legislation, calling it a "band-aid on a bullet hole." Cruz argued that the bill, pushed by Senate Republican leadership, would not secure the border and accused them of keeping the text of the bill secret. He stated, "It represents Senate Republican leadership waging war on House Republican leadership."

Cruz also expressed his support for Texas lawmakers who are taking steps to defend the state from the border crisis. He praised Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the state legislature for their efforts. Cruz emphasized that under Biden's administration, 9.6 million illegal immigrants have entered the country, and he commended Texas for stepping up to protect itself. He cited Article One Section 10 of the Constitution, which gives states the authority to protect themselves from invasion.

In conclusion, Senator Ted Cruz is a vocal advocate for school choice and has been leading the fight for it in the U.S. Senate. He believes that every child deserves access to an exceptional education, regardless of their background. Additionally, Cruz has been critical of President Biden's handling of the border crisis, accusing him of deliberately dismantling border security. He supports Texas lawmakers' efforts to defend the state from the influx of illegal immigrants. Cruz remains committed to securing the border and protecting the interests of the American people.
