On the recordMay 23, 2024
I will be making the unanimous consent request in just a minute, as I am just about to wrap up. I sent a letter yesterday to Secretary Mayorkas, wanting to know about the two people who tried to get into the Marine base, Quantico. Apparently, both of them were illegal, claiming to be Amazon contractors but were not. There is a lot of mystery around this, and I want a response to my letter. Who are these people? What do we know about them? Have they any affiliation with terrorist groups? What were they up to? I think we need to know as a nation what went on, because I find it very odd that two fighting-age illegal immigrants joined together to try to falsely get into a Marine base. That sends shivers up my spine. So I ask unanimous consent that this letter be printed in the Record, if I may. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: United States Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, DC, May 21, 2024. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC. Dear Secretary Mayorkas: I am writing today to seek information from your agency regarding the reported arrest of two Jordanian nationals posing as delivery drivers while attempting to infiltrate Marine Corps Base Quantico on May 3, 2024. As soon as possible, please inform me and the committee on the status of these two individuals. Please explain how they came to the United States. Were they here illegally?…

We're not giving any money to Iran that can change the course of history to try diplomacy. Is the MOU problematic? Yes. I would rather try diplomacy than take it off the table. The money Iran gets is not going to change the future of Iran.
