Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 8, 2024
I, like many Americans, thought when the Governors of Texas and Florida began transporting illegal immigrants to blue cities or sanctuary cities across the country that change would follow. It did not. Last October, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, went to Mexico to send a message that there was ``no more room in New York.'' Even our Nation's largest city cannot sustain more than 100,000 illegal immigrants in less than 2 years. Yet, the President has continued his open-border policies and his unprecedented catch and release operation. He and his administration also continue peddling the falsehood that our borders are secure. Now, Mayor Adams is reported to have made arrangements to bus immigrants back to the border. There is a reason for this. It is not racist or anti-immigrant. It is because the President's policy is unsustainable. I stand with the many Tennesseans I represent who embrace legal immigration but who want to see our border brought under control. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
