It feels as if it is hell for us.

I represent 42 percent of the Southern Border, over 800 miles, places nobody knew of 3 years ago that are in the news every single day.

If we can't agree we need to protect American children and children that aren't Americans, we can't agree on anything else.

border security should bring this country together more than anything else.

Border security should bring this country together more than anything else.

We will never forget that there were 13 Americans killed just days before the Biden administration pulled the rug from underneath us.

The Biden administration left over $7 billion worth of vehicles, weapons, and other gear in the country for the Taliban.

We have to continue to get ahead of it, because it doesn't end in Afghanistan.

Oftentimes, there are more Border Patrol agents from the Northern Border in my sector than there are in their own areas.

I think it is very clear to point out that the People's Republic of China are the aggressor.

We would like to see the State Department do more.

We are at war with China every single day.

We are at war with China every single day. I just got back from Taiwan. I spent 10 days in the Pacific.

Trying to ban legitimate asylum claims--one, it's not Christian, and two, to me, it's very anti-American. So a lot is at stake.

money will never solve this problem. Throwing more money at the problem doesn't solve it.

the majority of children are being separated by the cartels, not by the American government.

We can't have a Presidency that views it as competition. It is not competition when China is killing our children.

And I smile, and I go, 'Welcome to south Texas. Is this your first time here?' They go, 'No, no, Tony, this is our fifth time here.'

One of the things that I asked was, 'How many of you all are not from this area?' Literally, every hand went up, they're all Northern Border areas.

Oftentimes, there are more Border Patrol agents from the Northern Border in my sector than there are in their own areas.

the gray train is over and there are cuts coming. And we got to make sure, if you want people to protect some of these programs, there has to be results.

It scares me we are separating each other, and we are pointing out what makes us different, not what makes us the same.

If we are going to strengthen the Pacific, we got to go to places just like that and not just talk about defending against communist China but actually putting our money where our mouth is.

We have gotten $700 million appropriated for that.

I don't want it to change.
