Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a resolution Monday commending the horseback Border Patrol agents who were falsely accused by the Biden administration of whipping Haitian migrants.

Cruz’s resolution says Border Patrol severely lacked the resources and adequate personnel to handle the Haitian migrant crisis leading up to the Del Rio incident, and that Democrats like Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas "rushed to judgment" when they falsely accused agents of using their horse tack to whip the migrants.
The resolution states that the Del Rio incident was "self-inflicted" by Biden’s immigration policies, which it says left the southern border "open and unsecured" and allowed a record-breaking 3,271,585 encounters between Border Patrol agents and illegal immigrants since the president took office.
