They tell me very bluntly the rescission of this policy had a direct cause and effect on the chaos at the border.

By allowing aliens to enter the interior of this country freely we are signaling to them come on in, we're open for business.

I've always said the borders are our last line of defense.

And, regrettably, I believe this Administration has been derelict in its duty and its responsibility to protect the American people.

This is an absolute disgrace. This problem can be solved very simply. Secure the damn border.

This crisis is a self-inflicted wound and a direct result of this Administration's policies.

The security risk to our country is real and our adversaries around the world are capitalizing on our open border policies.

One of the first days of office is what the Biden Administration did was to rescind this policy that was working.

Today's historic border crisis is a policy crisis, not a funding crisis.

We need to turn off the pull factor, the magnet driving this, that will also shut down the cartels.

Elections have consequences. This one had a really grave consequence.
