“I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. I do find it interesting that the arguments are consistently wrong from my colleagues across the aisle. First of all, now they are telling us: Oh, it is just money. They need more money. Yet, overwhelmingly, everybody on that side of the aisle voted for the continuing resolutions that came up last year. There wasn't one of them who said: Let's amend the CR and get more money. No. They didn't do that. They said: We are going to rely instead on this bogus bill that is going to come from the Senate. Now, the bogus bill from the Senate that they now love and embrace, why do they embrace it? It is because it has a few things in it that are really unique. Number one, every day 1,500 people have to be allowed in. Not legally, because we allow over 1 million people in legally, they have to be let in if they are here illegally. Well, 1,500 would be an improvement for sure because we are looking at 3 million this year, and that would only be about over one-half a million. I can understand why they would say that that is an improvement. The reality is that the President has authority now to act and has chosen not to act. This bill from the Senate would have said that he could close the border when the number got to 5,000 a day. That was an option, 5,000. Good grief, that is over 1.8 million. By the way, that would still be an improvement over what the Biden policy is today.…”
