Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, last week President Biden stated that the border should not be a political issue to be weaponized. I agree that Americans don't have time for games in Washington, but I think the President should take his own advice. Since day one of his Presidency, President Biden has been laser focused on rolling back President Trump's policies that were effective in lowering illegal immigration. As a result, we have had nearly 12 million illegal encounters at our border since January of 2021, with this past April being the 38th straight month that encounters at the border have been higher than even the highest month under President Trump. For 3 years, House Republicans have passed good legislation that would actually secure the southern border and have urged President Biden to work with us on the border crisis, and we have been met with silence. President Biden needs to wake up. Just this week, CBP and the FBI arrested eight men with ISIS ties in New York, L.A., and Philadelphia who all entered the country through Biden's wide-open southern border. We can't keep pretending this is normal. We need to secure our border now. ____________________”
