Sen Cruz demands Biden allow freedom of the press at the border crisis

Fox News exclusively reported on Sunday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called upon so-called President Biden permit the media their constitutional right to access the southern border facilities to report on the situation. 

Unaccompanied migrant children are being held in transparent cages in overcrowded conditions where they sleep at night in such close proximity to each other that they must sleep on their sides due to the limited space. Fully ten percent of the migrants have tested positive for COVID-19 and if this isn't a COVID super-spreader, nothing is.

Sen. Cruz send a letter to Biden [below] after he and 18 other senators toured the Donna, Texas migrant facility last week where he saw children packed in "pods," and babies brought to the border by human traffickers of Mexican cartels.

While the Biden administration blamed Trump for the situation, it was the Biden roll-back that created the crisis--you only need to look at the numbers to come to that conclusion.

"We understand the heartbreaking tragedy unfolding at the border because we were there. We saw it," Cruz said in the letter. "But the American people are unable to see it because you remain intent on keeping the media from shining a light on your administration’s failures."

Cruz described the border situation as "inhumane" and "wrong." And clearly, the Biden administration is trying to hide it from Americans. Even journalists are criticizing his lack of transparency.

"I will commit to transparency, and – as soon as I am in a position to be able to implement what we are doing right now," Biden said Thursday when asked at last week's prepared questioned press conference.

"And one of the reasons I haven’t gone down ... is I don’t want to become the issue. I don’t want to be, you know, bringing all of the Secret Service and everybody with me to get in the way. So this is being set up, and you’ll have full access to everything once we get this thing moving," he said.

He doesn't want to "become the issue?" He's the freaking President of the United States. How would he become the issue? What does that even mean?

According to Cruz, not one reporter was allowed access to the facility where about 4,200 illegal aliens were packed into a facility designed to accommodate 250 people. 

"They could not show the American people cages after cages of little boys lying side-by-side, of little girls lying side-by-side, covered with reflective emergency blankets with virtually no space between them," Cruz said. "They could not see the playpen of infants and toddlers brought here by human traffickers and then left alone. They could not see the row of children who, having just been crammed into the crowded cages, were now testing positive for COVID-19."

Also, all media and senators were denied access to a clandestine processing center hidden under a bridge across the border. Even there, Cruz said that a "political appointee" jumped in front of his camera to stop him from taking photos and video which he posted online.

"This is outrageous. The Trump administration allowed media into DHS facilities. So did the Obama administration, the Bush administration and the Clinton administration. But you want to hide what is going on," he said.

Yes, that's exactly what they want to do and they are getting away with it because the Republican Party and the media don't have the balls to force the issue. It's a strong letter, but that's all it is.
