Democrats and Republicans alike have called the conditions at overcrowded U.S. Border Patrol facilities holding migrant youth unacceptable.
On Fox News, Sen. Ted Cruz blamed Democrats for conditions inside the facility in Donna, Texas.
“Many Democrats like to pretend their open border policies are somehow humane,” Cruz said. “There is nothing humane about what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing at the border.”
