“I certainly appreciate my good friend from my neighbor, Louisiana, Mr. Johnson, for having this Special Order. No, it doesn't look like things are going to change, as the gentleman said. Joe Biden has no interest in securing the southern border. He has proven it time and time again over the last 14 months. On day one of his Presidency, our Commander in Chief stopped completely the construction of our border wall, which is, by the way, something that Congress appropriated funds for and is something that we know for a fact deters illegal crossings. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security reported that illegal entries in areas with the new border wall system along the Yuma sector plummeted more than 87 percent in fiscal year 2020, compared with the previous year of 2019. President Biden's foolish decision to stop construction of this wall left millions of taxpayer dollars' worth of steel just rusting away in the hot sun and the cold, wet winters; millions of your tax dollars simply gone to waste. He ended remain in Mexico, a policy that The Washington Post reported made illegal apprehensions fall by 30 percent in its very first year alone. He has tied the hands of ICE who, last year, deported the lowest number of illegal aliens since 1995, despite more than 2 million alien apprehensions. Interior enforcement is drying up to nothing. And now he is scrapping title 42, the very last policy that saves CBP from drowning in a complete sea of chaos.…”
