Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the Senate to take up the bill we just passed, H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. With title 42 having expired, we are seeing a surge of migrants approaching our border that will add to a crisis in New York State that has seen New York City take in over 60,000 migrants so far. Now, Mayor Eric Adams has resorted to busing migrants into the Hudson Valley, despite previously decrying southern States from doing that to New York City. This is a completely untenable situation and demands immediate Federal action, which is why the House Republican majority passed H.R. 2. As the husband of an immigrant, I know why so many people immigrate to our Nation. We are the greatest Nation in the world. But we simply cannot continue to let our borders be wide open as they are now. We are seeing tens of thousands of people cross our borders illegally every single day. I urge the Senate to pass this legislation. Having spoken with the President yesterday in my district, I know he understands the need to act on our border. We have to work together to secure our border, end this broken system, and ensure the safety of our residents. ____________________”
