But the border cities are just getting hammered. It's untenable, to use a friend's words.

Can we stop sending the guns that they're using against us, basically, to run these cartels? Six hundred thousand a year.

But one aspect of this that we really need to address in short order is the amount of assault weapons that the United States is sending down to Mexico.

If what we're doing today has some financial benefit... why is this mayor, who is a Democrat, saying this is going to destroy his city?

We want into the North American miracle. We want to be part of the American miracle.

The wall is another aspect of this. In H.R. 2, it requires 900 miles of additional miles of the wall to be built.

The Border Patrol agents talked about the fact that they're outgunned from a drone standpoint by the cartels on a 17-to-1 basis.

If there's a Government shutdown--which apparently is looming, too, because the House Republicans can't avert that by passing basic legislation to keep the Government running--

I don't know that it will because it's got riders in it that are inappropriate and should not be included.

What's frustrating, the Biden administration seemingly does not care. These illegal aliens aren't staying at the White House. They're flooding into your backyards.

Do you believe this administration is aiding and abetting?

This administration is aiding and abetting, and they're complicit with this criminal activity, this criminal enterprise.

It's impossible to measure.

The Biden administration and Secretary Mayorkas... they've brought generational trauma upon the entire Western Hemisphere.

I believe those observations are accurate.

The President must stop this crisis at our border. He must end the absolute abuse, rape, and torture of these kids that's going on as a result of the cartels owning the Southern Border.

We have a crisis at our Southern Border. I invite, once again, my colleagues from the other side of the aisle to join us and go down there and figure this out.

A hundred-plus thousand children from the age of 18 into their mid-twenties, early thirties, young adults, have died as a result of the poisoning of fentanyl this year.

I agree with the mayor on that point. He can't. He can't handle it.

Until Secretary Mayorkas starts doing his job, following the laws passed by Congress, Americans are going to continue to be on the hook for the wasteful, needless, and often deadly costs incurred by this self-inflicted crisis.

Americans are fed up with politicians who waste their tax dollars and think they know better than everyday Americans.

He continues to claim that the border is secure, when the American people can plainly see with their own eyes that it's wide open.

I believe that perception is eroding in the mind of Iran's strategic decisionmakers.

The United States needs to do more to support the people of Iran and these protesters.

Time and again, this Administration continues to project weakness on the world stage and weakness, as we know from history, only invites aggression.
