Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 7, 2022
Last week President Biden addressed Congress and the Nation and claimed that he was committed to securing our southern border, but sadly his actions have not matched his words. According to Border Patrol reports, there were over 150,000 migrant encounters at our southern border just during the month of January, a 96 percent increase from the previous year. As we stand here today, more drugs like meth, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl are pouring into our country through our southern border. President Biden had a chance to offer solutions to this crisis at the State of the Union, but instead he gave flippant remarks that belittled the struggles that American families are currently facing. We cannot afford to leave our southern border open any longer. We cannot afford to let these drugs continue to kill the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters in our communities. Mr. Speaker, it is time for President Biden to get serious about the crisis at our southern border. It is time to give law enforcement the tools that they need. It is time to keep our communities once again safe. ____________________
