Ladies and gentlemen, let’s dive into some strong claims that have stirred up quite the buzz this week.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas didn’t hold back during his latest “Verdict” podcast, where he leveled serious accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris and the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (commonly known as AMLO). Cruz suggests that they are working together in a plot to flood the United States with illegal immigrants, with the aim of radically shifting the country’s political landscape to the left. Now, that’s a hefty allegation, so let’s break it down.
Cruz painted a pretty grim picture during his discussion with co-host Ben Ferguson. He criticized what he sees as Harris’s disastrous handling of border policies, which he believes have led to chaos not only at the southern border but also in communities across the U.S. Cruz argued that this surge in illegal immigration is straining local resources and contributing to a spike in crime, all of which he lays at the feet of the current administration.
But Cruz didn’t stop there. He claimed that the Democrats, almost unanimously, are pushing for more illegal immigration. According to Cruz, the end game is clear: Democrats allegedly want to bring in 30 to 40 million illegal immigrants because they believe that doing so would secure their electoral dominance for generations to come. In Cruz’s words, “They are actively encouraging, facilitating, and accelerating the invasion at our southern border.”
“Kamala Harris wants more illegal immigrants in America,” Cruz said. “Just about every single congressional Democrat in the Senate and the House, they want more illegal immigrants in America. They are actively encouraging, facilitating and accelerating the invasion at our southern border.”
“So now the government of Mexico is actively aiding and assisting the human traffickers,” he continued. “They will provide bus rides throughout Mexico, along with armed escorts from police and soldiers to bring illegal immigrants to the border to invade this country. And they’re doing this because Kamala Harris wants them to do this.”
The Texas senator went on to accuse the Mexican government of playing a role in this supposed scheme. He said that Mexico, under AMLO’s leadership, is helping human traffickers by providing transportation and even armed escorts to bring these immigrants to the U.S. border. And why would they do this? Cruz believes it’s because both AMLO and Harris share the same goal: to fundamentally alter U.S. policies and shift the nation’s politics dramatically to the left.
“AMLO, the president of Mexico, wants as much illegal immigration as possible to go into America, and Kamala Harris wants as much illegal immigration as possible to go into America,” he added. “Both for the same reason: which is to fundamentally shift the policies of the United States of America and to move them dramatically to the left.”

Folks, these are some bold and controversial claims. Cruz’s remarks are likely to fuel ongoing debates about immigration policy, the southern border, and the political strategies of both parties.
