Cruz joins Border Patrol overnight, meets with local officials

MISSION — Hours before the president talked about “bad people with bad ideas” entering the country at a rally in Florida, a United States senator strapped on a vest, walked through the thick Rio Grande Valley brush as Friday night turned to Saturday and found what he, President Donald Trump and many discuss in Washington D.C. The senator linked the findings to organized violent crime.

“There were more than one that were large, young men with a significant percentage of tattoos that might suggest gang affiliation,” U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Saturday afternoon, recounting an overnight ride along with Border Patrol. “I don’t know that, but those were the individuals that happened to be stopped on the patrol I was participating in.”

All of the people Cruz and the patrol encountered were apprehended, he said. But he did not encounter any families, Cruz added, which make up the majority of illegal apprehensions.

This crap escalated under Jorge Busho’s reign, and he should have fixed the problem then. His treason is largely what gave us O’DumDum.

I’d say he’s a bit worried about reelection. Dean Heller seems to be also. :)

Dallas Texas 2006, during war time, under Republican George Bush.

500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas pushing foreign flags in our faces and while making demands and threats. All while Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House...During war time.

Heller, Corker, Hatch and Flake all voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill and need to be Cantorized.

It will be hilarious if they do that again during a Trump administration.

500,000 arrests.

glaaad to see ya coming onboard, Ted ol buddy

This started with Al Franken's verbal sewerage that was part of dems attempts to stop the confirmation of AG Sessions. Al Franken fortunately is an idiot. The verbal assault on Sessions was so bad it can't be walked back. Only thing is, Franken also included insults and accusations against Cruz in his assault.

Since then, Cruz seems to be on the Trump Train.

Ted Cruz is a solid citizen is far more ways than he isn’t.

He has spoken against the end of TPP at all. He’s supported border enforcement, Gorsuch, every cabinet nominee, the immigration executive order....everything.

I got no complaints with Ted Cruz.

He should have been there Friday night; then he could have had a guest spot on Live PD.

When in the world will FR get past the Cruz Derangement Syndrome crap? Sheesh, FReepers, let’s support those who reflect our values and stop damning Ted Cruz. He’s doing good work to support the policies and pronouncements of President Trump. He’s one of the good guys. Sheesh.

Well, he might be a great American patriot, but I still have seen no proof that he's even a US citizen.

Border patrol had a recruiting commercial on TV with a phone number to call for getting job.

Headline of this story made me think for a minute that Sen. Cruz took a job with them. ;-)
