On the recordNovember 18, 2021
In 10 months we have gone from a secure border to complete chaos. We don't have a border anymore. We don't. We now have what Secretary Clinton said she wanted when she ran for President 5 years ago. We have a borderless hemisphere. You don't believe it? Just look at the numbers. March was the highest month on record for illegal crossings at our southern border, the highest month on record until April, and then April was the highest month on record until May, and then May was the highest month on record until June. June was the highest month on record until July, when there were 212,000 illegal encounters on our southern border. This past month it went all the way down to 164,000. 1.7 million this year alone. A record. And guess what? Thousands more in a caravan are on their way. And all the terrible things that happen in these caravans are there because of the policies of the Biden administration and the Democrats who control the Federal Government. But don't worry. Don't worry. Secretary Mayorkas said this, ``The border is closed. The border is secure.'' If the effects and what happens to kids and families on these treks wasn't so serious, if it wasn't so bad, you would almost have to laugh because there is no way anyone can describe the border as closed and the border as secure. In this big spending bill, this $2 trillion monstrosity, what is the Democrats' response to that chaotic situation on our border?…
