Border Patrol Union President: Republicans are against the border bill for “political purposes”
In response to Senator Cruz voting against even considering the bipartisan border security bill, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity released the following statement:
“Cruz’s vote against securing our border, cracking down on fentanyl trafficking and keeping Americans safe represents the worst kind of Washington politics. Republicans, border patrol agents and Americans of every political persuasion are backing this bill, but Cruz voted against even considering it to satisfy his petty, self-serving politics. Now, Texas voters will hold Cruz accountable by firing him in 2024.”
JUST THE FACTS: BORDER BILL INCLUDES “TOUGHER STANDARDS,” “FASTER ENFORCEMENT,” CRACKS DOWN ON FENTANYL, BACKED BY BORDER PATROL AGENTS.
