John Cornyn: “since the real President, President Biden, was elected to office, the southern border--my State shares a 1,200- mile…”

“since the real President, President Biden, was elected to office, the southern border--my State shares a 1,200- mile common border with Mexico--has been absolutely overwhelmed by the number of migrants entering the United States. The United States is the most generous country in the world when it comes to legal immigration. We naturalize almost a million people a year, which is, I think, part of the secret to our economic success. We see the best and the brightest from all around the world who want to come to America, who want to enjoy the kind of prosperity that Americans enjoy and the freedom and opportunity to pursue their dreams. Legal immigration, I think, has been part of the secret sauce that has helped to make our country great, and we need to protect that. Illegal immigration is a disaster. What is happening now on the border and what has happened in the last 2 years under the Biden administration has been nothing short of a humanitarian and public safety crisis. It is a little bit of a disappointment--it is more than a little bit of a disappointment--when President Biden campaigned on the promise of policies that were sure to lead to this exact situation. On the one hand, he said: I want to be a uniter. I want to work together to solve our Nation's problems. But then to see him completely abdicate the Federal Government's responsibility to control uncontrolled migration across the border is inexcusable.…”
