The ongoing border crisis between Mexico and the United States has sparked serious concerns and heated discussions among politicians. Texas Senator Ted Cruz recently sent a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, seeking clarification on the screening process for migrants using the Customs and Border Protection One app to board flights. Cruz expressed his worries about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allowing undocumented immigrants to use the app without proper identification, essentially taking their word for it.
Senator Cruz's letter comes amidst a growing outcry over the current state of the border, which many argue is wide open. President Biden recently engaged in a conversation with the President of Mexico, attempting to address the issue. However, critics assert that it is ultimately the responsibility of the United States to secure its border, rather than relying on Mexico to stop their people from entering.
