Sen. Ted Cruz blasts the FAA for blocking drone footage at ‘horrific’ Texas border

here now at the del rio international bridge in texas where thousands of illegal immigrants wait to be processed to senator ted cruz and senator uh first of all the faa we know the doj has been weaponized now the faa is going to be weaponized it really is ridiculous i've never seen anything like that the drone footage started this morning and people across the country were horrified and i guess the political operatives at the biden white house saw that and decided the last thing they want is fox news actually reporting on what's happening down here so now the faa is saying please no journalists allowed as you know they did the same thing in the donna tent facility in the rio grande valley where they wouldn't allow fox news to come in when i brought 19 senators to the rio grande valley i had to go in with my cell phone and photograph and take videos i'll tell you i'm right there that bridge is behind me and i just finished going again with my cell phone taking videos of what's happening there it is the most horrific thing i've ever seen there are right now as we're speaking yeah good go ahead sir right now as we're speaking there are ten thousand five hundred and three people under that bridge it is packed in as a mass of humanity and and it is th the scope of it until you see it and i'm putting those videos out tonight you'll get a chance to see it they take your breath away because it just goes on and on and on infants little children people people struggling and and and something stunning that i discovered today as i discovered the cause of why this is happening by the way senator we're showing your video right now your team was able to get it over to us thank you for sharing and by the way we wouldn't have had the video inside of joe biden's overcrowded cages you're right our our cameras were with you when you were there they wouldn't allow our cameras in and the only video we had came from people like you that shared it with us i appreciate it and we're showing that video right now that you took earlier tonight um by the way and this is the fox news undercover drone right here yeah to fox news undercover drone you know i don't know how much we're allowed to pay you senator you do have another job but uh we do honestly the american people need to see it now we're going to weaponize the faa we can't fly our drone because god forbid the american people see the mess created can you explain to me with the vaccine mandates that joe biden is placing on the american people how is it possible that democrats rejected the plan to mandate vaccines for illegal immigrants they're not even testing them you showed us the overcrowded cages in the middle of a pandemic we know the high rate of covert positivity then they're dispersed throughout the country how many americans get sick and die that we will never know about because of these open borders the answer is simple that joe biden and kamala harris are absolute hypocrites those 10 000 people there do you know how many border patrol is tested zero not a one they don't have the capacity to do that and and let me tell you something stunning that i learned tonight about why this happened because this is a man-made crisis eight days ago on september 8th under that same bridge there were between 700 and a thousand people that was what was coming a day about a thousand sometimes eleven hundred but it would range between seven hundred and 1100 then eight days ago on september 8th the biden administration made a political decision they announced that they were no longer going to fly deportation flights back to haiti 85 percent of the people under there are from haiti they're fleeing from haiti they announced they weren't going back there were about 900 haitians who were getting ready to board the flights when the political operatives in washington canceled the flights well what happened those 900 people they all pulled out their cell phones and they emailed their friends and they emailed their families and they texted their friends and their families that was eight days ago on september 8th today it's september 16th eight days later and 700 people has grown to 10 500 because the word has gone out if you're from haiti joe biden and kamala harris have said we have open borders come to del rio and they will let you in everyone under that bridge is turning themselves in and it's a political decision that joe biden could end tonight by simply following the law and saying we are going to send people back to haiti which is what federal immigration law requires until biden and harris got into office i i i why do i feel if i just pick and choose the laws that i like to uh abide by uh and the ones and ignore the ones i don't it wouldn't work out as well uh senator i guess now you're unofficially um and not paid reporter reporting live on the ground in texas texas senator ted cruz thank you for sharing the videos with us on a
