Ted Cruz Says Joe Biden’s Presidency is the ‘best thing’ to Ever Happen to Mexican Drug Cartels; Cruz: Biden Enriched Cartels Whose Revenue Increased 26x Since 2018, We Need to Pressure Mexico, Not Invade It

Ted Cruz says Joe Biden’s presidency is the ‘best thing’ to ever happen to Mexican drug cartels:

After a Mexican cartel was accused of murdering two Americans after kidnapping four in Tamaulipas, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News serious action should be taken against the “narco-terrorists.”

Two South Carolinians — Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown — were found dead following the ordeal, while Eric Williams and Latavia Washington McGee survived, Tamaulipas Gov. Americo Villarreal Anaya said Tuesday.

Cruz told “Jesse Watters Primetime” those who kill American citizens must be held accountable, and that the tragic kidnappings and murders would not have happened if it weren’t for a dearth of presidential leadership.

“Joe Biden created the chaos at the border. Joe Biden stopped building the wall. He reinstated catch-and-release, he pulled out of Remain in Mexico,” Cruz said.

“Joe Biden and the Democrats are responsible for turning these vicious murderers into multi-billionaires. We need to bankrupt them. We need to put them out of business, and the people responsible for these murders need to be brought to justice.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Monday on “Jesse Watters Primetime” he will introduce legislation to facilitate U.S. military intervention against the cartels if necessary.

“Let me be clear. Lindsey is my colleague, but I’m not with him. The answer is not to invade Mexico. I don’t think the answer is to just go to war with whatever country you’re mad at,” he said, adding former President Donald Trump was able to lessen cartels’ effects through tough diplomacy with Mexico’s incumbent President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, nicknamed “AMLO.” —>READ MORE HERE

Cruz: Biden Enriched Cartels Whose Revenue Increased 26x Since 2018, We Need to Pressure Mexico, Not Invade It:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated that President Joe Biden “is the best thing that ever happened to the Mexican drug cartels” and cited the massive surge in cartel revenue since 2018 and argued that the solution to cartel violence isn’t to invade Mexico or go to war with it, but rather, to pressure the country to act against cartel violence.

Cruz said, “Well, listen, those who kill American citizens must be held accountable. And, at the first instance, this wouldn’t happen if we had responsible presidential leadership. Joe Biden created the chaos at the border. Joe Biden stopped building the wall. He reinstated catch and release. He pulled out of Remain in Mexico. And what Joe Biden has done is he’s turned these vicious narcoterrorists into multibillionaires. Let me give you an amazing statistic: In the year 2018 — this is according to The New York Times — the Mexican drug cartels made roughly $500 million. That’s a lot of money. Last year, they made $13 billion. … That is what Joe Biden did. Joe Biden becoming President is the best thing that ever happened to the Mexican drug cartels.” —>READ MORE HERE
