On the recordMarch 22, 2024
Last night, when I was looking over the bill, I got a text with a film in it, a video clip of soldiers in uniform being overrun at El Paso, being overrun by illegal foreign nationals coming into our country, just running right over them. I don't know what their orders were. I don't know what their rules of engagement were. I don't know how anybody expected them to stop these people coming into our country wholesale. What was amazing and astounding as well, Madam Speaker, is those folks all ran to the Border Patrol to come into our country illegally. Border Patrol was ordered by President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to allow these people to come into our country. My friends on the other side of the aisle are going to say we got more beds and we got more Border Patrol agents. Those agents are going to process these individuals into our country, and those beds are going to go unfilled because these people are coming to your town. Madam Speaker, this bill makes Americans pay for their own sellout, and I recommend that we all vote ``no.''
