President Biden’s State of the Union speech wasn’t initially greeted with high praise from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz:
The Real State of the Union: Joe Biden is shattering records, but not in a good way.
More illegal immigration has happened under his watch than any year since 1960 – the first year this data was recorded.#SOTU
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) March 2, 2022
The Real State of the Union: The border is in crisis.
The past year was the worst year in DHS history: More than two million illegal aliens were caught.#SOTU
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) March 2, 2022
However, when Biden talked about the need to secure the southern border, Sen. Cruz was in complete approval, albeit in a sarcastic way. After all, everybody knows this administration has shown zero interest in accomplishing any goal involving border security. But it was worth an exaggerated standing ovation nonetheless:

Biden often talks about his desire for “bipartisanship” and “unity,” and at least that was achieved here — albeit in a sarcastic fashion.

Of course, everybody knows that Biden has ZERO intention of doing anything about the problems at the border.

Who believes he will do anything to secure our border? https://t.co/aWr96nkXax

The Biden administration and many Democrats have no interest in “fixing” what they don’t think is broken.
