A tense exchange unfolded during a Senate hearing between Senator Ted Cruz and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as Cruz demanded to know how many children have been held in “Biden Cages” at the border, while Mayorkas avoided answering by refusing to accept the terminology.
“How many children have been in the Biden cages in calendar year 2021?” Cruz asked, prompting Mayorkas to reply “Uh I respectfully am not familiar with the term cages, and to what you are referring.”
Cruz followed up “Enclosures in which they are locked in, in which I took photographs and put them out because you blocked the press and didn’t want people to see the Biden cages, the secure facilities in which they are locked down in Donna, those facilities. How many children have been in them?”
Mayorkas responded “Senator, I respectfully disagree with your use of the term ‘cages.’”
Nevertheless, Cruz persisted, stating “Fine you can disagree with it,” and again asking “How many children have been in the Biden cages? I’ve been to the Biden cages. I’ve seen the Biden cages. How many children have you detained at the Donna tent facility in the cages you built to hold kids? How many children have been in those cages?”
Mayorkas stuttered and stammered and didn’t provide any answer, before Cruz asked whether Joe Biden or Kamala Harris had bothered to visit the facility in Texas, forcing him to admit they have not.
Watch:
Elsewhere during the exchange, Cruz asked Mayorkas how many women have been sexually assaulted or trafficked into the U.S. this year, and how many children have been sexually assaulted as they were trafficked illegally across the border.
Cruz also also demanded figures for the amount of illegals who tested positive for COVID-19 and then were released and how many with criminal records were released.
“How many murderers have you released?” Cruz asked, adding “How many rapists have you released? How many child molesters have you released?”
Mayorkas didn’t have answers for any of the questions:
Cruz also addressed Democrats in the Senate, asking “Has any Democratic member of this committee given a damn enough to see the children being locked up by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because of your failed immigration policies?”
While admitting that the immigration system is “fundamentally broken,” Mayorkas claimed that the Biden administration has “more control” over the border than the Trump administration did, a laughable suggestion.
Left-wing broadcaster Channel 4 interviewed a Ukrainian refugee who said she moved out of Birmingham, England’s second city, because she was “afraid” of living in the city as she expected more white people to be there.

Federation for American Immigration Reform President Dan Stein charged Wednesday that the Democrats are purposefully flooding the country with illegal immigrants in order to change the political electorate and keep themselves in power for the next half a century.
Appearing on Fox News, Stein urged “This is happening on purpose. The Biden Administration are co-conspirators with the cartels, who are operating with impunity all across America now.”
“We have no interior enforcement, no immigration law enforcement, obviously criminal aliens are being released en mass in part because there is no criminal detention,” Stein continued.
“They are paroling in people under phoney asylum claims by the millions, and incentivising cartels to keep smuggling people in,” he added.
Stein labeled new Arizona governor Katie Hobbs a “smuggler”, adding that “she’s operating like a travel agency to bring people in and send them all over the country, it’s happening for a reason and to expect the Biden Administration to voluntarily change course when they want this to happen is ridiculous.”
“The Republicans in Congress need to do more than just hold hearings, more than oversight, they need to tell the Department of Homeland Security ‘you cannot continue business as usual, you are breaking the law, violating it, making up new immigration laws as you go,” Stein proclaimed.
He further charged that “Democrats are invested in trying to reengineer the electorate through mass illegal immigration, they try to retain one party leadership for fifty years, they don’t give a darn about what’s happening at the border, they don’t care about Fentanyl deaths, they don’t care about illegal immigration. They are rewarding it, incentivising it and doing everything they can to promote it.”
“How can you possibly expect Democrats to turn around and do something different?” Stein asserted, adding “They’re playing a long game here, and the American people need to understand our country is being destroyed.”
Watch:
Stein’s comments come in the wake of fresh figures released by the Customs and Border Protection Agency revealing that a record amount of illegal crossings were recorded in December 2022, with 17 individuals on the terrorism watchlist apprehended.
The numbers, released Friday, show that 251,487 illegal immigrants crossed the border in December, the highest monthly total in history.
Meanwhile, amid Democratic calls for a blanket amnesty, a survey has highlighted that only fourteen percent of Americans agree that citizenship should be granted to those have have entered illegally.
