Alejandro Mayorkas: “we need legislation to ban them.”

We do not minimize the significance of the challenge at the border.

The notion that we in law enforcement have sought to intentionally allow individuals to cross the border illegally for the purpose of voting is preposterous, and everyone should condemn that rhetoric.

One major provision of the Senate bipartisan legislation, that would have been so incredibly impactful, was to allow us to apply expedited removal proceedings.

I would welcome the opportunity to work with you to increase the Coast Guard's budget quite significantly.
