Fox News
Senator Mitch McConnell's leadership has been under fire from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who doubled down on his suggestion the Kentuckian step down.
"It's been a disaster on policy. And it's been a disaster on politics. On policy, this bill is terrible. It is an absolute. It is a bill that Chuck Schumer wanted that is designed not to secure the border, not just not to secure the border. It's designed to make it worse," he said. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Cruz said the bill, crafted by Lankford and Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., "codifies" Biden's penchant to allow a porous border and "normalizes" 5,000 illegal migrants per day. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
