Senator Cruz has been vocal in his fight for various amendments and legislation in the Senate. When it comes to border security and immigration policies, Senator Cruz did not mince his words, criticizing the Biden administration's approach. He stated, “Had Joe Biden simply followed the law, what would have happened is that murderer would have been put on a plane flown back to Venezuela and Laken Riley would still be alive.” He further criticized the administration for prioritizing political agendas over the safety of American citizens.

In response to the crisis at the southern border, Senator Cruz emphasized the need for action, saying, “Instead of fighting to secure our borders [the federal government] is fighting the state of Texas by trying to stop Texas from protecting our sovereignty.” He also highlighted the administration's perceived preference for human traffickers over the American people in their policies.

Regarding foreign policy, Senator Cruz expressed concerns about the Biden administration's approach to corruption sanctions, stating, “I am deeply concerned that the Biden administration has politicized corruption sanctions. Those decisions have broadly undermined the integrity of our sanctions regime.” He criticized the administration for what he sees as a biased application of sanctions based on political ideologies rather than the severity of corruption.

Senator Cruz also addressed the growing drug epidemic in America, teaming up with Senator Tim Kaine to introduce the bipartisan STOP TRANQ Act. He emphasized the importance of proactive measures to address the rising threat of non-opiate tranquilizers in the current drug epidemic, stating, “Last year, over 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses and TRANQ is rising.”

In conclusion, Senator Cruz reaffirmed his commitment to fighting for the safety and security of Americans, stating, “Rest assured, I won’t back down in the fight to save our country.” As he continues to advocate for various issues in the Senate, his efforts reflect his dedication to upholding the interests of Texans and Americans alike.
