Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to talk about the border for just a second. Joe Biden and company have allowed this situation at our southern border to escalate from a crisis to a full-blown catastrophe. It was announced just this past Tuesday, CBP saw more than 12,000 encounters with illegal immigrants along the border. Let that sink in. Twelve thousand in one day crossed the border-- those are the ones they know about--that American taxpayers are having to pay for, I want to add. It is unconscionable. Under this administration's failed policies, every town is a border town, Mr. Speaker, and the rest of the country is beginning to feel the strain that my home State of Texas has felt for so long under a constant stream of illegal migrants encouraged by President Biden's wide-open border. That is why I introduced H.R. 6477, a bill that would effectively reimplement the remain in Mexico protocols established by and under President Trump. It would crack down on the rampant abuse of the asylum system that has enabled so much of this problem. My bill would also hold the administration responsible for knowing the whereabouts and the status of illegal migrants throughout the parole process, and I urge my colleagues to cosponsor it. Congratulations to Alvin Community College for Educating Generations from Texas”
