Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will join Glenn Beck this weekend at the U.S.-Mexico border on what Beck describes as a humanitarian mission.
The Tea Party Senator will join the radio talk show host and his followers in his effort to bring soccer balls and teddy bears to illegal immigrant children.
Cruz, who told Breitbart News that the event is a statement against President Barack Obama's non-enforcement of immigration laws, said he will be doling out medical supplies.

A Cruz spokesperson announced�to�The Blaze Thursday�that Cruz would be "glad to join Glenn Beck" in McAllen, Texas to "provide some relief from the suffering this administration is causing."

Cruz's spokesperson, Catherine Frazier, reiterated to Breitbart News that "from day one, Sen. Cruz has been leading the charge to stop President Obama's lawlessness, which is the direct cause of this humanitarian crisis."
She said Cruz argues that, at the same time, "these young children are very real victims of the President's promise of amnesty�because of it, they have been subjected to horrific physical and sexual abuse from international drug cartels smuggling them into the country."

"Private charities and churches are stepping up to provide food, medicine, and toys for these young children, which is a compassionate response that embodies American values," she continued. "But the most compassionate response�which Senator Cruz is leading the fight to accomplish�is to end the President's amnesty and to humanely and expeditiously reunite these children with their families back home."

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) dropped out of the trip, saying a scheduling conflict prevented him from attending.�Sources close to Sen. Lee confirmed to Breitbart News that Lee would not be attending Beck's event.

Beck, who announced that Lee would be present, apologized to the senator on his radio show Thursday for trumpeting his appearance before their schedules were set. Lee did say that religious organizations and charities can often help children in need better and more effectively than the federal government.
