“I thank the gentleman, the co-chair of the Border Security Caucus for holding this Special Order tonight. Just when we thought we had seen the worst of the Democrats' socialist wish list with this $5 trillion reconciliation plan, they manage to squeeze in yet another radical, dangerous, unnecessary provision. This time, it is effectively creating an open U.S. border. So first, let's set the scene. This summer and fall, we have seen record numbers of illegal border crossings, reaching over 200,000 apprehensions in July and August each. Earlier this week, U.S. authorities confirmed 1.7 million apprehensions in the fiscal year, the most ever recorded. More than 16,000 migrants tested positive for coronavirus and were released into the United States without vaccination requirements and without any trace of where they are traveling, who they were coming in contact with. This 16,000 was on top of the tens of thousands of migrants released into the interior of the country by Joe Biden. We no longer have detention centers at our borders, we have border distribution centers where we are sending people all over this country. We now know that the Biden administration was covertly flying migrant children around the country. They didn't want anyone to know. So my question for Joe Biden is this: How many children were flown out from the border and who is paying for it? The American people want to know.…”
