Cruz: Trump’s Decision to Halt China Flights ‘Saved Lives’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: “It's the same opposition they had when the President on January 31st halted flights into and out of China. That decision, by the way, saved lives in America. I chaired a hearing in the Senate with experts from the CDC, the Department of Transportation, and Customs and Border Patrol. All three expert witnesses told us in the Senate hearing that shutting down air travel into and out of China saved lives. What did Joe Biden do? He called the President a xenophobe for doing that. Same thing when the President halted travel into and out of Europe. Same thing today. You know, the Democrats make a lot of noise about wanting to do more to stop the spread of coronavirus, but when the President stands up and does that, all they can do is attack him. And let me say finally, not only is there the security threat of coronavirus and want to minimize additional transmission, but there’s the reality of jobs. Immigration is supposed to support American workers and American jobs. When you have 30 million Americans unemployed, Democrats are flabbergasted why we wouldn’t want to continue bringing in new workers even though we have millions of workers here at home that we need to get back to work."
