Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 18, 2021
reserving the right to object, border security is national security. That is why I rise today to speak on my amendment No. 4236, to block President Biden's outrageous taxpayer- funded handouts to illegal immigrants who broke the law and entered our country illegally. At a time when American families are struggling because of Bidenflation, when families are paying more for everything from gas to groceries, to heating their homes, the President wants to give up to hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants as a reward for breaking the law. Don't forget, we still have a crisis on our southern border, and we should be doing all that we can to secure our southern border, not incentivize illegal immigration. These taxpayer-funded handouts to illegal immigrants are outrageous, and I would urge my colleagues to allow a vote on my commonsense amendment. Therefore, I ask unanimous consent to modify the request to include my amendment No. 4236.

What the president made clear is [he] does not want to see any cuts to beneficiaries. But to go after, he repeated over again, the waste, fraud and abuse, the waste, fraud and abuse.
