Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused Vice President Kamala Harris of viewing illegal immigrants as “future Democrat votes” during his criticism of her doing “nothing” to secure the southern border.

Cruz’s comment comes as Harris is currently the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election after President Joe Biden bowed out of the race Sunday. Republican lawmakers have been very critical of the Biden administration’s handling of securing the border, with Cruz stating that Harris “is directly responsible” for the “invasion” along the border.
