According to Ted Cruz, Biden is pretending to be transparent by letting a TV crew film a very nice border facility instead of showing the American public what’s really going on at the Donna facility, which sounds like a nightmare:
The White House hand-picked a TV crew to accompany their trip to the Carrizo Springs, NOT the Donna facility.
That’s not transparency.
True transparency would be to open the Donna facility to press that’s at 1,556% capacity when 18 Senators go there Friday.

Reports about the CBP's Donna facility indicate minors are hungry, have only showered once in 7 days, were forced to sleep on the floor, and haven't seen sunlight in days.
Of course the Biden admin isn't allowing cameras in that facility.

Cruz says the facility that was chosen by the White House “has a soccer field, basketball court, and a legal services trailer has the Spanish word “Bienvenidos”, or welcome, on a banner on its roof”:
The Biden admin is instead taking a camera to HHS's Carrizo Springs facility which The Washington Post reports has a soccer field, basketball court, and "a legal services trailer has the Spanish word 'Bienvenidos,' or welcome, on a banner on its roof."

If the Biden admin was truly committed to being transparent about the crisis on the border, they would grant media access to the Donna facility.

If Trump tried to pull this, the media would be in outrage mode until Trump opened up their facilities to the media. But see that’s the point isn’t it? The evil dictator Trump DID allow the media to film his border facilities at the height of the 2019 border crisis, as NBC admitted a few days back:
At the height of the Trump administration’s child separation policy in June 2018, it allowed media to tour facilities where separated children were held.
But with Biden blocking the public from seeing the devastation going on in these facilities and blocking border patrol from speaking about it, all the media does is moderately complain about it. There’s no outrage or nothing.
Thanks to Ted Cruz for relaying these terrible details of the Donna facility. The American people have a right to know what Biden has done to the border.
