We have 300,000 people dead since 2021 under the Biden-Harris Administration.

Because of all those decisions made again, deliberately, intentionally, in a premeditated way, on day one of this administration all kinds of terrible things have happened.

The truth is that in every crime I have discussed, everyone committed by an illegal alien was preventable if only we had an administration that did their job.

There really, truly--there is very little interest on the other side of working in a bipartisan way to find meaningful solutions.

We have long been asking for reform. I think what is most frustrating to me as a Member of Congress is what is happening today at this Committee hearing where we have colleagues who are exploiting people's pain for political purposes.

In my opinion it is not a Democrat or Republican issue. I hope all of us here can figure out how to work together because these solutions have been proposed, we just can't get them implemented.

This is what happens when you have an administration that doesn't care about border security that prioritizes aliens over Americans.

It is legislatures who are responsible to write the laws around immigration, around border policy.

She laughed. She laughed. She said she hadn't been in Europe--she hadn't been at the border.

I can tell you that I have been pushing a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill that addresses outdated border policies.

It wasn't Democrats who stood in the way of that. It was the folks on the other side of the aisle who torpedoed what was the most border hardening bill ever written.

The First Amendment and robust political debate are not consistent in any way with violence.

On July 13th it was a terrible day for America.

No one could get more out of five minutes than Sheila Jackson Lee. She was a friend to everyone on both sides of the aisle.

Alvin Bragg's prosecution of President Trump was personal. It was based on politics, and it was wrong.

If you're a judge who won't recuse yourself when your daughter is in the business of making millions of dollars from people who've attacked President Trump, you might understand why he's winning to allow an indictment that you're not…

In my eight years in Congress--I came in June 2016--we have seen an unprecedented amount of weaponized government.

I find that just amazing. If that is not political motivation, I don't know--because what other motivation could there be?

this game can be played in many different ways.

this New York prosecution is something that is a very bad precedent, let's just put it that way.

Bragg's prosecution of President Trump with the help of Judge Merchan opened the door for politically motivated prosecutions.

You don't prosecute people because you don't like them, or you have some other ulterior motive.

Let's be clear. Alvin Bragg campaigned openly on his persecution of President Trump.

The reason I am here today I would say, is because of the progressive prosecutor movement funded by these outside groups.

It is ripe for this Committee to take up this issue because it is a Federal issue.
