Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak against the amnesty provisions included in the Democrat reconciliation bill. The situation at the border is a complete and total crisis. Many folks look at what is happening there and they think it is incompetence by the Biden-Harris administration but, Madam Speaker, that is not true. Yes, there is a lot of incompetency in the Biden-Harris administration, but the southern border is not a failed policy. It is the policy. The Democrats want illegal aliens to come to America as part of the socialist plan. In fact, the Democrat reconciliation bill is a plan that would give amnesty to over 8 million illegal aliens--over 8 million. There is no provision to actually secure the southern border or to fix the problem at the source. This blanket amnesty for over 8 million illegal aliens rewards law- breakers, empowers cartels, and encourages more people to make a very dangerous journey to our border. Amnesty for over 8 million illegal aliens is an outrageous proposal and must be defeated. Congratulations to Fight Crime: Invest In Kids
