On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that Democrats and the media are doing everything they can to hide that the man who allegedly murdered a Georgia college student last week is an illegal immigrant because the Left views illegal immigrants as future Democrat voters.
Venezuelan Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant, was arrested on Friday for the murder of Laken Riley, whose skull had been crushed when she was violently attacked on February 22.
Cruz made his comments during an interview when he was asked why the media was not reporting that the suspect in the case is an illegal immigrant who entered the United States during the record-breaking illegal immigration crisis at the southern border that has originated under President Biden.
“Because they support the open borders we have,” Cruz said. “The 10.6 million illegal immigrants who have crossed under Joe Biden — Democrats and the media both view all of them as future Democrat voters. And so if people have to die, if children have to be assaulted, if women have to be raped — they are willing to accept that as collateral damage.”
“The odds of a major terrorist attack in America today are greater than they have been at any point since September 11, 2001,” Cruz continued. “Every time I am on the border, when I talk to Border Patrol agents they tell me they are concerned about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists crossing over and trying to commit another mass murder like October 7.”
