In a statement shared Sunday, Lone Star State Senator Ted Cruz pushed for the death penalty for the illegal migrant who killed 5 Texans; “I hope this illegal alien mass murderer gets it.”
From The Daily Wire:
Cruz made the remarks in response to a tweet from Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that noted that officials have confirmed that 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa is an illegal alien and has previously been deported from the U.S. multiple times.

“Heidi & I are praying for the victims’ families and for law enforcement to quickly catch this butcher & bring him to justice,” Cruz said. “Once caught he must be quickly tried, and if convicted must never see sunlight again. This disgusting act deserves the death penalty, and I hope this illegal alien mass murderer gets it.”
“Joe Biden & Kamala Harris made the deliberate political decision to open our borders & allow SIX MILLION illegal immigrants to cross,” he added. “This death & carnage is the predictable and tragic result. We must STOP the #BidenBodyBags”
