“With a great deal of consternation I rise in opposition to the opposition. H. Res. 1065, here we go again. Rather than solutions, the Republicans are denouncing the Biden administration's immigration policy. What do they have to offer? This is an outrage. I thought it was extremely important to make sure that I put my statement in the Record about a President who is putting forward solutions by putting forward a supplemental almost 1 year ago that would have provided more resources to our southern border where I live, more resources in terms of dealing with asylum, more Border Patrol, more Customs and Border Protection, more courts, and more lawyers to be able to address what the American people want to be addressed. Nonetheless, what do we spend our time doing on the floor of the House? Condemning, not solving, and not finding a solution for our DACA young people who are doctors, lawyers, teachers, and others, EMS supporters, if you will, or workers. All we are doing led by the Republican majority, is condemn, condemn, and condemn. I want solutions. As the second in seniority member of the Homeland Security Committee, we are going to continue to work on the positive solutions of Joe Biden, President of the United States. He has solutions to be able to bring us all together to have comprehensive immigration reform. Let's work with the President of the United States. Stop denouncing. Do your job. ____________________”
