Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is calling for Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to invite the mayor of the border city of McAllen, Texas to testify -- as part of Republican demands for the committee to hold a hearing on the crisis at the southern border.
"I therefore urge you not only to hold a hearing on the crisis at the border, but to invite Mayor Villalobos to testify about how this crisis is affecting his and other border communities," he said. It is the latest Republican push to hold hearings in the Democratic-controlled committee, after calls by members on the committee including Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, John Cornyn, R-Texas, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.More Related News
