Political Quotes

“In closing, Madam Chair, I find it really ironic and hypocritical when one moment you say: Close the borders, don't let people in, and if they want to come, then let them come the legal way. Then we create programs, one, to invest in communities outside of the U.S. so that they don't have to come to the southern border, they don't have to do that dangerous journey, we create programs of safe mobility so they can stay in places like Colombia and other places like Ecuador or Espana in the future, and then you say: Not that either. The reality is that this is not about President Biden. This is about you want to create crisis, chaos, and fear-mongering at all costs even if at one moment you say this and the other moment you say that, because you have no intention in addressing issues of immigration or border. You want to create chaos because it is the only way you win. My amendment will allow us to address the root causes of migration to ensure that people can stay in their home countries, and then you won't see them at the southern border. To me that is a solution, and it is why I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair.”
