Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Cruz said that because of this policy, 2020 saw "the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years."
41% : To avoid protecting the southern border, he said, Biden is "ignoring the courts."
33% : The first policy that contributed to the crisis, Cruz said, was the day one decision to halt construction on the border wall.
33% : These organizations overwhelmed border agents by sending thousands of illegal aliens across the border at a time, leaving border patrol unable to stop traffickers smuggling drugs into the country.
27% : Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said later that the United States was paying "millions of dollars to be able to watch pieces [of the border wall] sit on the ground," and noted that work could be quickly resumed on the wall if Biden wanted to do so.
9% : He criticized Biden and Harris for refusing to even visit the southern border, concluding "This tragedy needs to end, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris need to follow the law."
