However, I would note that while Republicans are using this hearing to criticize Secretary Mayorkas for the challenges at our border... the majority has offered no solutions of its own.

America has long welcomed those coming to our shores seeking protection from persecution, and we are a better Nation for it.

Stand firm against anti-immigrant rhetoric and efforts, and firmly reject attempts to exploit Congressional hearings.

The fact is, the Biden administration is working to reunite hundreds of families who remain separated years after the Trump administration took children from their parents at the border, a policy that will be a permanent stain on our…

EVERY STATE IS A BORDER STATE: EXAMINING SECRETARY MAYORKAS' BORDER CRISIS

But the question remains do we want to finally overcome our border challenges or do we want to use this issue for partisan attacks?

During a briefing with reporters, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said it was 'unequivocally false that fentanyl is being brought to the United States by non-citizens encountered in between the ports of entry who are making…

To cast a vote in the United States is an act of faith and hope.

Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it.

We also knew this was flatly false.

domestic violent extremists now pose the greatest threat to our homeland.

So if you want to fight for that, I will fight by your side to get more Border Patrol agents.

the threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations has not gone away. It has evolved and persisted.

With every effort to excuse or justify the conduct of the former President, we chip away at the foundation of our Republic.

we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion

He must be accountable. He is required to answer for his actions.
