That's where they're asking for more money.

The only thing that changed were 89 successful migration policies implemented by previous administrations, and I mean administrations, plural.

You can't have bipartisanship if the other side fails to show up for their duty.

An unsecured border is a problem. It's not just a Federal problem.

I would submit to you that it's two things, and your sector chiefs have told me what they are: No. 1, they're the policies, and those policies came from the promises the President made during his campaign.

You'd think with the situation so dire, that the Democrats would at least show up for the committee hearing.

Because of the decisions, because of the incompetence, and because of the dishonesty of the Department of Homeland Secretary, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

To me, bipartisanship is where you sit down together and debate the issues and talk to try to find common ground and solutions.

What we got is a Federal policy disaster, OK, that incentivized illegal migration instead of criminalized illegal migration.

It is an abomination. It is despicable that people in Washington would set policy that would cause that to those men and women.

In just the 2 years of Secretary Mayorkas' reign at DHS, more people have come into this country than all of the 8 years of Barack Obama's Presidency and all 4 years of the Trump Presidency combined.

Their place of duty is in this hearing because it is a full hearing. And they are not here. They are AWOL.
