Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my Texas colleague's H. Res. 957. We all know the eye-watering figures: 10 million greater than the population of our seventh largest State, 1.7 million got-aways. I want to focus on the 100,000 minors that we have literally lost in the interior of the United States, supposedly because under some treaty, we are not authorized to collect and store information on minors. They are simply in the United States, who knows doing what--slave trade, indentured servitude. The cartels will collect their pound of flesh from the people who pay them to bring them across the border. They are in every State, and they are in many of our cities. They are now collecting from indentured servants, from the sex trade, from the slavery that we have, from the fentanyl that they bring across and sell. No new policy, no new law, no new tax dollars are a solution for this issue. It is the lawless behavior of the administration that must change. If you want a solution, I urge my colleagues across the aisle to address the lawless behavior of this administration. That is the only solution to secure our border. {time} 1500”
