Cruz blames Biden for Haitian migrant crisis, cites 'canceled' deportation flights

Cruz was the Friday keynote speaker at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference in Michigan, where the senator spoke on the raging illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.

The Texas senator said the situation at the southern border is an "absolute catastrophe" and harkened back to earlier this month on September 8, where there were "between seven hundred and a thousand illegal immigrants, primarily from Haiti" being held under the Del Rio Bridge.

"The Mexican cartels have been funneling the Haitian illegal immigrants to Del Rio for whatever reason," Cruz said. "Well, on September 8th, there were roughly nine hundred Haitians preparing to be loaded onto planes to be flown back and deported to Haiti."
