Support for this resolution ignores the painstaking efforts of the American and Ukrainian Governments and instead parrots the propaganda of the Kremlin.

I do not fault anybody from--for trying to get into the United States for a better life.

I oppose this measure, the political stunt at the heart of it, and any efforts from within this body to divide us at such a pivotal time.

We have had 5 million encounters at our border since this Administration came into office.

I ask that we all come together, not just to show the greatness of America and what we do here in the Foreign Affairs Committee, but to show what we stand for as Americans.

I also want to thank Chairman McCaul and his staff for working with us on this bill and to make sure that we are able to proceed in a bipartisan manner.

But I believe that this bill is harmful, counterproductive, and turns our back on those fleeing oppression. And for that reason, I urge my colleagues to vote no.

In my judgment, I have never seen this border more wide open and out of operational control.

Sadly, many of these migrants do not make the dangerous journey because it is so dangerous.

The Federal Government's job is to secure our borders, air, land, and sea. And unfortunately, that is not happening.

There is nothing compassionate, humane, or fair about what we are seeing from the Biden Administration's policies.

I think our colleagues, you honestly have to think the American people are stupid.
