Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that President Joe Bidens border crisis is so dire, it makes former President Barack Obamas border crisis seem minuscule by comparison.

Cruz remarks, which he made during his Verdict podcast, came after U.S. Customs and Border Protection released numbers late last week showing the more than 302,000 illegal aliens were encountered on the U.S. southern border last month, by far the highest number in history.

Listen, illegal immigration was a problem under Barack Obama, was a serious problem under Barack Obama, but I gotta say, compared to now, its night and day, Cruz said. The Obama immigration problems seem quaint, that they are minuscule compared to what is happening now. The order of magnitude Ive joked multiple times that Joe Biden has done something I thought was impossible. Hes made me miss Barack Obama.

Cruz said that outside of DACA, Obama by and large, followed the law.

For people crossing illegally into the country, Barack Obama deported millions of people, Cruz said. If you remember, during the Obama administration, the Left got very mad. They called him the deporter in chief. And that made a difference. What has happened here under Joe Biden, and weve never seen a president do this in over 200 years of our nations history. There has never been a president that utterly and completely defies U.S. law, and lets people go by massive numbers.

So for example, theres an authority under federal immigration law called parole authority, which is, you can release people in limited and special circumstances, Cruz continued. Under Obama, he would parole roughly 5,000 illegal immigrants a year. Under Trump, it was a comparable number. How much Biden is doing? About 800,000 a year. He took Obamas 5,000 a year and he blew it up to 800,000. Theyve made a decision, We are going to allow an invasion.'
