FIRST ON FOX: Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a bill to bring processing centers for illegal immigrants to where the "Democrat elites host their cocktail parties."

Fox News exclusively obtained a press release announcing Cruz’s new bill, the Stop the Surge of Unsafe Rio Grande Encampments (SURGE) Act.

Cruz blasted President Biden and his administration for having "willingly surrendered the United States’ southern border to dangerous criminal cartels" without any "thought given to the South Texas border communities like McAllen and Del Rio," which are facing the brunt of the border crisis.

"That’s why today I am introducing this crucial legislation to alleviate the massive overload at the southern border by establishing new ports of entry in Democrat-led communities such as North Hero, Vermont, where Bernie Sanders spends his summers, and Martha’s Vineyard, where Democrat elites host their cocktail parties," Cruz wrote.

The Texas senator remarked that if D.C. Democrats "had to endure even a fraction of the suffering" facing the "families, ranchers, and small businesses" in South Texas, U.S. "immigration laws would be enforced, the wall would be built, and the Remain in Mexico policy would be re-implemented."

Cruz also urged his colleagues "on both sides of the aisle to stop ignoring the plight of South Texas communities and act swiftly to end this horrific humanitarian crisis."

It won't pass. But they'll have to actively oppose it, and that way the leftard Dems and RINOs will look like crap.

Parenthetically, I've been discussing the very same thing on Freep. Is Ted lurking here?

[Laslo Fripp]

Senator Cruz is grandstanding.

It’s what Senators do best.

[DesertRhino]

They never introduce bills like this when they are the majority with a president in the White House.

[Jewbacca]

True.

Cruz might because he actually believes this.

But McConnel won’t let him. He wouldn’t want to drop his cocktail at the Catalina Wine Mixer.

[Eleutheria5]

It serves a purpose, though, to illustrate the hypocrisy and perfidy of the Left re the invasion. If you want sincerity, you’ll be wanting it a long time in Washington. His message is right on, sincere or not.

Cruz also includes Rehoboth, Delaware where Bidumb has a vacation home, as a port of entry to process planeloads of diseased migrants.

They should all be in DC.

I was in Del Rio last week and the Texas Department of Public Safety has a significant number of troopers in the town and along the border. There are Texas guard troops on both sides of the bridge on the US side, especially near the mission. I couldn’t have felt safer at the Ramada Inn where every other vehicle in the parking lot was a DPS trooper’s.

[Dacula]

I grew up in Del Rio and it sickens me to see this happening.

[Vigilanteman]

Would the Swiss allow one in Davos?

“...on the North side of the Rio Grand!!”
