A nuclear Iran, let me say, is unacceptable and I will have a resolution on the floor stating it's a policy of the United States that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable.

We need a policy to deter future hostage taking and one that contains, not enables, Iranian aggression.

Let me be abundantly clear. The Americans held by Iran are innocent hostages who must be released immediately and unconditionally.

The Iranian regime, war criminal Putin, and the Chinese Communist Party are working together to destroy America and our allies.

Her murder is a tragedy and an outrage and it sparked a revolution, a revolution I hope we can continue because the people of Iran are oppressed by this theocracy.

I urge the passage of our bipartisan bill the REGIME Act to stop regime officials who hate and threaten America from enjoying the luxuries they seek to destroy.

I want them to be with their moms and dads.

Children over politics, that's how it should be.

Why would you not afford the same protections to a foreign child whose inside of our country? I don't care how they got there.

It is time for oversight on these 200,000 dead Americans.

Mr. Mayorkas knows his policies have increased the number of trafficked human beings.

One of our greatest values is upholding the rule of law.

Yes, I believe we are a nation of immigrants, and I am for legal immigration.

If you look at the rate, that is three times the rate of the previous President.

Tens of thousands of American parents permanently separated from their children because they are dead due to the fentanyl pouring across our Southern Border.

This administration has separated 400,000 children from their parents by not sending them back to their parents in their home countries.

Eighty-five thousand children that the sponsor doesn't want to pick up the phone. OK, they are not picking up the phone.

But we have to secure the border first, or the incentive just keeps more mass waves of people coming.

President Trump's inhumane and ineffective border policies, like Title 42 and Remain in Mexico, cause smugglers and criminal cartels to realize unprecedented profits.

It is important for us to understand the human cost of the past Trump policies my colleagues seem to want to go back to, like, family separation.

I can sympathize and empathize with people who are trying to come to this country because we have a value system that everybody looks up to.

We can't, in my humble opinion, be viewed as the arrogant Americans, and we have to lead as a country, and you can't lead from behind.

The failure to acknowledge and address the crisis is a disgrace.

The border crisis is no longer simply a failed policy--it has developed into a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, in which Secretary Mayorkas is complicit.

The refusal by the Secretary to lead the Department does not only have political consequences--it has life-altering consequences for personnel and their families.
