Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, we had a debate last night, and, obviously, a lot of Americans are discussing public policy. I want to address what I consider the three greatest crises facing America today, only one of which was brought up by the press last night. The one brought up by the press last night, which cannot be overstated, is the crisis at the border. I was disappointed that last night, people did not talk about the size of the crisis. We are in a situation right now in which we have about a quarter of a million people crossing our border every month. Under President Trump, that number, depending on the month, was between 5,000 and 10,000 people. We have gone from 10,000 to over 200,000 people coming here last month, and I think the press should be doing a better job of describing the size of that crisis. I think they also have to do a better job of questioning the amount of legal immigrants that are coming here. Some people are under the impression or seem to be under the impression that people coming to this country, and as a result, changing this country is only on the southern border. Actually, we have almost a million people a year, depending on the year, 850 to 950,000 people coming here legally. It is not impossible for people to come here, and I think there ought to be more focus on the 900,000 or 950,000 people who are sworn in every year as Americans.…”
