Texas Senator Ted Cruz argued during a Friday appearance on Fox News that transporting migrants across state lines could be illegal — yet still praised the recent actions of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and advocated for more similar moves.
Cruz, who is a lawyer and graduate of Harvard Law School, was asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday to weigh in on the situation “from a legal standpoint.”
“Let’s say I went down to the border and I brought a big truck with me, and I picked up a bunch of illegal immigrants, and I started transporting them across the country,” Hannity said. “Would I or would I not likely be arrested for human trafficking and would it be illegal to do that for me, if I did that?”
Cruz was clear in his response: “For you, a citizen, you could easily be arrested. Although, to be honest, Joe Biden’s Justice Department wouldn’t arrest you.”

And neither Hannity nor Cruz can shut their mouths about it
with selective prosecution
tyranny
No person is illegal. Love has no borders. Hate has no home here.
We get it. Everything we do is illegal, but it’s legal for them.
So 2 million illegals transported all over by them is ok.
50 by us is kidnapping.
The headline is a gross distortion of the facts. Hannity's thoughtless hypothetical is nowhere near the situation being discussed.
The people being transported were not "a bunch of illegal immigrants... picked up at the border." They were processed by Border Patrol and Immigration and given desk appearance tickets for immigration court. After that, they were free to move around the country on the promise to return to court on their assigned dates.

Immigration crisis ? What immigration crisis ? THE BORDER IS SECURE.
Great post.
Nobody ever accused Hannity and Cruz of being very bright. Idiots.
I never wanted to buy the world a Coke.
Shut up buffalo butt. ;)
Migrants, possibly
Foreign invaders, who just by being in the US violated federal law and are now felons, probably not.
Cancun Cruz. What a Joke of a Senator.
And Hannity is way past his sell by date..
I thought he was the legal expert.
It’s only illegal if they are forcibly moved across state lines. Asking if they’d like to go and then accepting is nothing more than a ride.
What teddy really meant was it is only illegal when republicans do it. He knows the unwritten rule is democrats never have the law applied to them.
Don’t ya just love this when one of the elected senators can pick and choose which law he feels was broken only to hamper the people who are trying to solve the problem? I have zero use for Mr Cruz and less for Mr Hannity. Maybe, just maybe, a United States senator should be on the front steps of the capital DAILY talking about illegal aliens. Maybe the highly trained Harvard dude didn’t learn what the term ‘illegal’ means?????? The country is lost.
The Biden administration has been transporting illegals across the country by the millions. Therefore, it is engaging in human trafficking.
The Biden administration has been allowing illegals to flood into the country by the millions, and that is definitely illegal.
Why is one illegal action involving illegal immigration exalted above another illegal action involving illegal immigration?
And all the raped, robbed, murdered Americans by illegals is censored by the MSM.
Migrate them back to Central America and the Middle East where they came from.
I’m surprised Hannity allowed Cruz time to answer.
