White House condemns Texas’ razor wire at border, as do Cruz rivals Allred and Gutierrez

The two leading contenders hoping to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz were among those issuing scathing denunciations: Dallas Congressman Colin Allred and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez of San Antonio.

An aide to Cruz, a two-term Republican, did not respond to a request for his views on the letter. The senator was active on social media Tuesday, denouncing a likely impending indictment of former President Donald Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, but steering clear of the latest border controversy. “The only reason that that wire is being used by the Texas law enforcement and National Guard is because the federal government has abdicated its responsibilities to deal with border security. And so Governor Abbott and Texas law enforcement are doing the best they can. Obviously, that’s not ideal,” Cornyn said last week.

“President Biden also needs to speak up, and his administration needs to do everything possible to stop Greg Abbott from these horrific actions,” he said.Rep. Sylvia Garcia of Houston said Texas’ “barbaric” treatment of migrants — a term invoked by many Democrats — probably amounts to criminal violations of U.S. and international law.
