Senator John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, recently posted a series of statements on social media regarding political shifts among Hispanic voters in Texas, immigration policy under the Biden administration, and legislative actions related to border security funding.

Later that day, Cornyn commented on the issue of unaccompanied minors at the U.S. border. He stated on July 15, 2025: “Thousands of missing unaccompanied minors are lost in the U.S. because of Biden’s open border policies.

These remarks come as Texas continues to be at the center of national debates over immigration and electoral politics.
