Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the dangerous situation at our southern border. Since President Biden took office, there have been over 1.4 million illegal border crossings. These record-high apprehensions keep increasing with no end in sight, and now a new caravan of migrants is headed through Mexico to our southern border, as we speak. Instead of addressing what has become a humanitarian, health, and national security problem, this administration and congressional Democrats keep announcing plans that will only exacerbate the problem. For example, the administration has discussed paying illegal immigrants settlement payments of up to $450,000, and the spending package being pushed through this Chamber includes amnesty for up to 10 million illegal immigrants and up to $100 billion in taxpayer-funded benefits for them. These irresponsible proposals and dangerous open border policies will continue to fuel the crisis and encourage more illegal activity at the border. We must secure our borders and ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone. ____________________”
