Mayorkis deserves it.

We Americans have always prided ourselves as being a Nation of laws and not of men, and yet it appears that our immigration laws are now routinely ignored.

The Biden Administration is making a deliberate choice to not secure our border.

Lincoln put it this way: The voters are everything. If the voters get their back sides too close to the fire, they'll just have to sit on the blisters awhile.

The real solution would have been to prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.

The Committee thinks it is warranted.

Without enforcement, there is no immigration law. Without immigration law, there are no borders, and, without borders, we have no country.

How many have escaped into the interior of the United States?

It's the intentional destruction of a lot of effective policies that were put in place during the Trump Administration.

It's not what is best for illegal aliens. It's what is best for Americans.

Day one of this administration they stopped construction of the wall, they ended Remain in Mexico, and they put back in place Catch and Release.

If we would have kept that policy Kayla may be alive today, but because we didn't, all kinds of bad things happened.

This administration decided on day one... they were going to stop building the wall.

More than 52 million illegal aliens along the southwest border has been encountered since Joe Biden took office.

You have to end Catch and Release. You can do that through detention or you can do that through something like the Remain in Mexico Program.

That is not a secure border. That is not a closed border.

What is the number up to now? Like we are close to like 100 people who have been on the Terrorist Watchlist who have been encountered on our border.

We just have to have the will to put it back in place so that the bad things we see happening all over the country won't continue.

There has also been an uptick in the number of individuals on the FBI Terrorist Watchlist.

It seems to me this administration made an intentional decision to put in place policies that have led to everything we have been talking about this morning.

They made that decision on day one. That says it all.

They want to send such a message that they said: If we can get this guy, we can get this guy to be quiet, we can get everybody to be quiet.

The Biden Administration, they thought this was going to be a win for them politically.

Thank you for your commitment to the Constitution, the First Amendment, the rule of law, and for your willingness to come forward and tell Congress what you've seen, what you've witnessed.

Politics is driving the addenda in Federal agencies.
