In the midst of the ongoing border crisis, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz filed legislation on Tuesday that would establish processing centers for illegal immigrants in areas such as Martha’s Vineyard and other democrat-led communities. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Earlier this month, Cruz said: “For the past ten months, President Biden and his administration have willingly surrendered the United States’ southern border to dangerous criminal cartels, with no thought given to the South Texas border communities like McAllen and Del Rio, which are running low on resources from dealing with this massive influx of illegal immigrants,” The legislation was introduced before Cruz made his statement.
“That’s why today I am introducing this crucial legislation to alleviate the massive overload at the southern border by establishing new ports of entry in Democrat-led communities such as North Hero, Vermont, where Bernie Sanders spends his summers, and Martha’s Vineyard, where Democrat elites host their cocktail parties,” Cruz continued.

According to the law, 13 new ports of entry would be established in towns across the United States, and all illegal aliens apprehended at Border Patrol Sectors in Texas would be transported to one of the 13 new ports of entry for processing.
The following locations would be home to the thirteen new ports:
Block Island, Rhode Island
Greenwich, Connecticut
Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
Cambridge (Massachusetts)
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Newport, Rhode Island
Scarsdale, New York
Palo Alto, California
Yountville, California
St. Helena, California
North Hero, Vermont
Cruz stated that the Texas government was forced to proclaim a state of disaster and dedicate its law enforcement and financial resources to dealing with the problem.
“Local Border Patrol Sectors in Texas continue to be overwhelmed by the volume of illegal aliens at the border. The Texas government has been forced to declare a state of disaster and provide its law enforcement and fiscal resources to address the crisis.”
Cruz reported that he encountered human traffickers and cartel members while traveling to the border in early March. One of his recordings showed him saying, “That’s Mexico and you can see there are three smugglers right there standing on the Mexican side looking at us.”
This is hilarious, yes? This legislation will go nowhere, but it’s a great publicity op for Cruz and it helps spread the word that some of us are being hit harder than others by this illegal immigration.
