Michael McCaul actually said...

"People disingenuously say that the border is open when we have three or four times the number of Border Patrol agents that we did in the year 2000."

"We need to ensure that that process remains true to our rule of law, not to release folks out in our country before those asylum claims are actually vetted."

"I also want to thank Chairman McCaul and his staff for working with us on this bill and to make sure that we are able to proceed in a bipartisan manner."

"The burden that the American taxpayer is carrying these days is well more than what it should--what he or she should be carrying."
