Senator Ted Cruz is leading a delegation to the border this week to examine the conditions created by the Biden administration.
Amazingly, the Biden administration is not allowing the media to go with him.
Can you even begin to imagine the media’s reaction if Trump did this?
The Hill reports:
Cruz presses Biden on media access for border tour
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is criticizing President Biden over the federal government’s refusal to let independent journalists view migrant detention facilities along the southwest border with Mexico.
“As part of our oversight duties as Senators, I and 14 of my colleagues will travel to the border this week to talk to the brave men and women on the ground who are working every today to stop this crisis and secure our border,” Cruz said in a letter to the White House this week.
“But it is not enough for members of the Senate to see what is happening—the American people must see. That is why I requested that members of the media be allowed to join us. But your administration clearly and emphatically refused to offer press access. This is outrageous and hypocritical.”
Cruz accused the Biden administration of “hiding the truth” from the America people.

“The press and the American people deserve more than denials and excuses from a podium,” Cruz wrote. “They deserve to see and understand the crisis for themselves with the help of reporters who are free and independent from your administration.”
It’s great that Cruz is leading this investigation.

We need to #SecureTheBorder and end ‘catch and release.’

The Biden administration is making this problem worse and is now blocking the media from reporting on it.
This is madness.
