Ted Cruz Unleashes Anti-Migrant Rhetoric At RNC
HuffPost
GOP speakers used the theme of keeping the country safe to attack migrants and President Joe Biden’s border policies.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) painted a vision of an America in the hands of violent migrants during his speech at the Republican National Convention.
Cruz was one of several former presidential candidates to take the stage in Milwaukee on Tuesday night to speak to the theme of the RNC’s second day, “Make America Safe Once Again.” The senator attacked the surge of migrants attempting to cross the country’s southern border with Mexico and claimed that every day Americans were “dying, murdered, assaulted and raped” by “illegal immigrants that the Democrats have released.”
He claimed the Democratic Party had ignored the crisis at the border to garner “votes from illegals” instead of protecting kids — a baseless statement evoking related conspiracies about migrants overtaking the U.S.
“Today, as a result of Joe Biden’s presidency, your family is less safe, your children are less safe, the country is less safe,” Cruz declared. He pointed to the deaths of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Kathryn Steinle to bolster his claims.
“We can fix it, and when Donald Trump is president, we will fix it,” Cruz went on.
