Rep. Veronica Escobar says that Texas Sens. Cruz and Cornyn are using the southern border as a prop

Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas said in a recent Daily Beast podcast interview that a southern border tour held last Friday by GOP Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn was simply "political theater."

During an episode of "The New Abnormal" featuring editor-at-large Molly Jong-Fast, Escobar lamented that immigration has been politicized to a point where crafting real solutions has been absent from the debate.

"I think there are 18 senators that are parachuting into Texas and that delegation is led by John Cornyn and Ted Cruz," she said. "These are people who are about to engage in political theater, use the border as a prop, [and] do a whole lot of complaining and finger-pointing. But these are the same people who've been in the Senate for a number of years."

She added: "They were in the Senate when their party had control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. They did not solve this problem."

'Canada' Cruz is a gangplank refugee. Now that he's here he wants to pull the gangplank up behind him.

3. It's tempting to say "No duh"

But it's important to have the opposition speak out about this cynical grandstanding, if only to keep the media from saying that Democrats had no response.
