George Santos: “My amendment would reestablish the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office, also known as the VOICE office…”

“My amendment would reestablish the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office, also known as the VOICE office, within the Department of Homeland Security. In 2017, President Donald J. Trump, the greatest President of my lifetime, established the VOICE office. Its mission was to provide support for the victims and family members of crimes committed by illegal aliens, also known as angel families, and to hold criminal illegal aliens accountable for these heinous actions. American citizens should never have to pay the consequences of Biden's open border policies. Sadly, angel families are becoming far too common. Just a couple of weeks ago, a criminal illegal alien murdered yet another American citizen in the State of Texas. The family of this American would have had access to the critical services that the VOICE office offered, but by the stroke of a pen, the Biden administration converted the VOICE office in 2021 to instead help criminal illegal aliens. Let me repeat that, Mr. Chair. An office intended to help families who had fallen victim to criminal illegal aliens, individuals who should have never been here in the first place, is now helping those very same criminals. Secretary Mayorkas himself said: ``All people, regardless of their immigration status, should be able to access victim services without fear,'' at U.S. tax dollar expense. What part of America First do Democrats not understand, Mr. Chair?…”
