Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, transnational criminal organizations and drug cartels are taking full advantage by highlighting the weak border security posture of the administration while profiting from this crisis. The administration continues to roll back commonsense border security measures, thereby feeding into a false narrative for would-be migrants and encouraging them to come to the United States to seek asylum. Many migrants who make this dangerous journey to the United States will not be eligible under the Federal law for asylum, forcing them to seek other ways to enter the United States. We know for a fact that cartels control who crosses the U.S.-Mexico border. They charge migrants exorbitant fees knowing that some will never be able to repay, leading many of the migrants with only one option: to work off their fees. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.”
