On the recordJuly 13, 2022
We have before us a concept that already exists in law, that already has that authority with the Director of the CIA. This bill before us would allow this authority to be exercised now by the Secretary of Defense for only 10 individuals, I should say, and it waives no special vetting or security background checks. There would be thorough background checks before any pathway to citizenship would be given. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. The Democrats' record speaks for itself: no concern for the dire national security implications of their open borders policy; no concern for the infiltration of hostile foreign agents into our military; no concern for the ingratiation of foreign agents into our legislative and executive branches. Americans should be concerned. They should be very concerned. Until there is a sea change in the attitude of the ruling Democrats toward our national safety, our security, and our sovereignty, amendments like this should be utterly rejected. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
