Evidence uncovered by this committee has shown that this administration bears full responsibility for the harm that Americans have experienced as a consequence of its open border policies.

Your son will live forever in that piece of legislation.

We cannot go back, we must not go back to the cruel tactics of the past.

We are not going to fix illegal immigration in this country without fixing legal immigration.

I really wish that my colleagues would stop playing political games and work together in a bipartisan way to advance real solutions at the border.

Because we are open for business. That is a sign the administration put on the border.

Secretary Mayorkas knows better. I have known him for a long time. I worked with Jeh Johnson.

Would you consider these policies to be aiding and abetting the criminal conduct that we are seeing?

The perfect victim. Both the girls and the boys. The boys, I would argue, go to MS-13.

We must ensure that our country does not shrink from its long and rightly celebrated commitment to providing an opportunity for those in danger to seek protection.

Let us also not forget Marine Interdiction Agent, Michael Maceda who died in the line of duty last November while attempting to intercept a drug smuggling vessel off the coast of Puerto Rico.

The sanctuary cities that have welcomed vast numbers of illegal aliens into their communities have seen crime spike.

The more people flood across our border, the more Border Patrol agents and Air & Marine officers must put themselves at significant risk to save them.

No professional group has been hit harder by Mayorkas' border crisis than Federal, State, and local law enforcement.

When we publish our findings, the American people will be shocked and disgusted at how Secretary Mayorkas' policies have explicitly led to the mass trafficking, exploitation, and abuse of vulnerable minors.

I want to start off by commending Colombia's decision to provide temporary protected status to almost 2 million Venezuelans fleeing the economic collapse and political crisis in neighboring Venezuela.

I urge the Biden Administration to be open minded and provide technical support if requested.

I'm glad that President Petro has committed to fully implementing this agreement and the United States as Colombia's ally should support these efforts.

It's not the role of the United States to handpick any nation's leaders and the Colombian people have spoken.

I hope that we can continue that tradition in pursuit of a relationship that is based on mutual respect for democracy, human rights, economic prosperity, and regional security.

I do not think there is any doubt that Russia at this hour is a global pariah whose brutal war against Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people.

The United States is not going to be monitoring Colombian coca crops anymore.

I thought that as soon as the President announced in April 2021 that we were going to abide by the Doha agreement and withdrawal that that withdrawal should have happened earlier.

I was very vocal in 2021 that the withdrawal and the evacuation should have started earlier.

I have an independent obligation as a Member of Congress to uphold my views, right, and I'm not just going to rubber stamp anybody.
