Sen. Ted Cruz said the risk of a terrorist attack against the United States is higher now than at any time since Sept. 11, 2001.
Cruz appeared on Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street Saturday to react to the immigration crisis unfolding at the U.S.-Mexico border, including reports that people from Lebanon and Syria have entered the country that way. That information worries Cruz, who represents the southern border state of Texas."I am very sorry to say I think the risk of a major terrorist attack in the United States is higher today than it has been anytime since September 11, 2001," Cruz said.
The senator went on to blame President Joe Biden's"disastrous foreign policy" and"open borders." In his opinion, it has resulted in"the biggest war in the Middle East" — the conflict between Israel and Hamas that began a week ago. "If you are a terrorist coming here to commit a terrorist act, you want to be a 'got away,'" Cruz went on."Nobody is watching, nobody is on guard in this administration because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas are more concerned with partisan politics than with their solemn obligation to keep America safe."August's total number of people apprehended for illegally crossing the border or reported as evading capture was at least 261,327.
Gov. Greg Abbott reported earlier this month that 35,000 immigrants have been bused to Democratic sanctuary cities, with 13,300 sent to New York City. Immigrants have also been sent to Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
