On the recordNovember 4, 2021
Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about the Biden border crisis, which continues to rage every single day. For months, the Biden administration has had no answer for the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who have streamed across our southern border. Now we have learned that the President is actually considering a payment of $450,000 to illegal immigrants who were arrested during the previous administration. How on Earth is this acceptable in the United States of America? What has happened to our basic understanding of the rule of law? I refuse to allow a half-million-dollar handout of hardworking taxpayers' money to those who came here illegally. That is why I am proud to support the Illegal Immigrant Payoff Prohibition Act, introduced by Congressman McClintock, which would prevent the attorney general from making these payments. It is very simple: illegal immigrants should not be rewarded for breaking the law. ____________________
