This is a predictable outcome of bad policy choices made right after Biden became president.

We need policy changes that address the pull factors. There's nothing irregular going on in the world.
I cannot come back to South Carolina and talk about giving aid to Ukraine and Israel if the border is still broken.
To the Biden administration, accept the tools that will change things and will get money for Ukraine.
I cannot tell you the humanitarian problems people are suffering due to this immigration.
If you have to wait four years for an asylum hearing, let's slow down the asylum system; 1.7 million people are ready to be deported.
We're asking the administration to use Title 42-type authority to tell people we're full.
Accept the idea that we're full. Let – give us – take the tools we're willing to give you to stop the inflow.
I could care less what language people use as long as we get it right.
The Biden administration went to Saudi Arabia. The idea of normalizing relationship between Saudi and Israel is still the big prize.
I will not help Ukraine, Taiwan, or Israel until we secure a border that's been obliterated.
Asylum is being gamed. They’re playing – remember the guy who said, 'Thank you, President Biden,' went to New York? He says, 'I'm not here to leave oppression. I'm here to have a better life.' Under the Biden administration, the asylum…

If we don't get this right this time, we're talking about another generation of just tit-for-tat death.
I've never been more worried about a 9/11 than I am right now, and our border has been obliterated.
You chose to undo Trump policies. You gave in to people like Mr. Castro. You've created a nightmare. It's bitten you in the ass, and you need to change policy.
To my House colleagues, if you strip out Ukrainian aid, Russia will keep going. There will eventually be a war between NATO and Russia. And it will be a green light to China to invade Taiwan.
