Eric Swalwell

No, we should be working, John, for working people. They are the ones who count on us and it's our troops, it's our cops, it is border agents, it's air traffic controllers -- the people we depend on to keep us safe and keep us moving, who…

Thank you for coming and doing something that the Chair is unwilling to do, testify to Congress.

Your office has made a number of reforms to 702 targeting foreign nationals, but those reforms have not been put into law.

It is the difference between one side that believes in governing and one side that believes in ruling.

So, I welcome you to the law firm of Insurrection, LLP, where they work every single day on behalf of one client, Donald Trump.

I mean, are you serious that Jim Jordan, a witness to one of the greatest crimes ever committed in America, a crime where more prosecutions have occurred than any crime committed in America, refuses to help his country?

Mr. Swalwell. Mr. Attorney General, my colleague just said that you should be held in contempt of Congress. That is quite rich because the guy who is leaving the hearing room right now, Mr. Jordan, is about 500 days into evading his…

If he's going to, again, bring forward a bill that will lift America's debt ceiling and pay our bills... Democrats will work with him, but if he is just going to allow his conference to act as a law firm on behalf of Donald Trump, then no…

This all makes me very nervous for our democracy as we go into this upcoming election to see so much chaos on their side, because democracy is on life support right now.

Democrats will show competence in governing and a preference for governing, and Republicans will show continued chaos and a preference for ruling rather than governing.

Kevin McCarthy's problem is his own conference and the deals that he's made, that are now collapsing, and they're collapsing at the expense of the American people who need him to keep government open and functioning.

Donald Trump has no right to incite, he has no right to harass. He has no right to intimidate, Anderson.

Yes, there has been an increase in the number of migrants apprehended who are on the 'Terrorist Screening Data Set.'

The only foreign-born terrorists who cross the Southern border unlawfully were three brothers from Macedonia who came to the United States while Ronald Reagan was President.

In the last 48 years going back to 1975, the number of Americans killed by a terrorist who crossed the Southern border unlawfully is zero.

This hearing is purely intended to scare the public, to demonize immigrants, and to score cheap political points as we head toward that next election.

I left that meeting impressed with the men and women and the effort behind keeping us safe in the skies every day.

You have got a tough job, you are a serious person, and we are grateful that you are doing it.

Border crossings are down despite my MAGA colleagues constantly saying we have an open border which only invites people South of the border to believe that they should try and come here.

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, they don't have solutions. They want the chaos.

Democrats applauded the measure while Republicans scrambled to find a new way to turn it into campaign fund raising emails.

We want to acknowledge the seriousness of your job and hopefully one day in the majority give you the tools to deliver.

Your serious job is to secure the border of the greatest country in the world.

These foreign propaganda arms do not discriminate.

We would not have this interagency arm that actually looks, collects, analyzes, and exposes disinformation.
