From Transcript from Fox News Sunday:
WALLACE: Some Democrats
say, you talk about helping the children, but this is a humanitarian
crisis above all else and the key is to help the children. Senate
Democratic Leader Harry Reid blames you, attacked you this week saying
radical Republicans are trying to hold these kids ransom and then he
said this.

SEN. HARRY REID, D-NEV., SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER:
Had we done comprehensive immigration reform we wouldn’t be having this
issue and everyone here, the border is secure.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WALLACE: Senator, your reaction?
CRUZ: Well, you know, President — President Obama
and Harry Reid both engaging debates divorced from the facts and
divorced from the reality. Harry Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in
Washington, D.C. And I’m sure from his perspective the border seems
secure. I would invite Harry Reid to come with me down to Texas and see
the border. On the border we are seeing the opposite of following the
law. The border is not secured. 90,000 children are expected to come in
to this country illegally this year and Harry Reid says the border is
secure? I’ll tell you who is holding these kids ransom, is Harry Reid
and the president because their view is don’t do anything to fix the
problem.
He mentions comprehensive immigration reform. The
Gang of Eight bill is one of the causes of this problem. Because what
the kids are saying is they are coming because they believe they will
get amnesty. Part of the Gang of Eight bill was promising them amnesty.
