I find it almost comical that we are being lectured by my friend from New York who was just talking about consequences. The consequences that we are facing here in this country are actually twofold. First, we are facing the consequences of the disastrous open borders that President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have allowed here in the United States of America. Secondly, closer to home, when we are talking about murderers and rapists, my friend from New York is part of the political party that leads New York City, that has rogue DAs who have decided not to hold those accountable who have committed crimes. We are talking about the State of New York, where the Governor, the Assembly, and the State Senate, have put cashless bail and criminal justice reform into place that have actually given criminals more rights than law-abiding citizens. I think, today, what we are focused on is holding those accountable who are defrauding the United States of America, people who come to this country illegally and have not only committed Social Security fraud but also taken money from COVID-19 funding and used it to their advantage; therefore, taking it away from good, hardworking Americans and businessowners. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
