Both Democrats and Republicans are concerned about the unsustainable border situation, which they consider a crisis. The current administration aims to fix the broken immigration system and create a pathway to citizenship. However, the issue has become politicized, unlike in the past when bipartisan approaches were taken. The solutions involve allocating resources to the border for efficient processing and implementing laws that enable a meaningful pathway to citizenship.

The speaker discusses the ongoing crisis at the southern border and criticizes the Biden administration for its handling of the situation. They highlight the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants entering the country and the negative impact it has on American communities. The speaker also emphasizes the dangers posed by drug trafficking and the potential for terrorists to enter undetected. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens. The speaker mentions several bills being considered to address the issue and criticizes the reported deal in the Senate, arguing that it does not include the necessary policy changes to solve the crisis. They conclude by questioning President Biden's commitment to border security and the rule of law.

The speaker states that the Biden-Harris administration's root causes work has resulted in benefits, including historic investments and a reduction in immigrants from that region. The administration worked with Congress on border security legislation that included support from conservative members. According to the speaker, Donald Trump opposed the bipartisan bill because it wouldn't help him politically, and he told his people in Congress, "don't put it forward," killing the bill. The bill would have put 1500 more agents on the border, and the border patrol endorsed it. The bill would have allowed for increased seizures of Fentanyl. The speaker would push the legislation again and sign it.

Republicans are saying that I, President Biden, can close the border single-handedly, but that is incorrect. I do not have the legal authority to do that. I have tried to do what I can via executive action, and have issued certain executive orders, but my hands are tied. This is an intractable problem, and there are no easy solutions. I am limited in what I can do without Congress acting. We need congressional action to fix the broken immigration system. This cannot happen without Congress resourcing this. There's only so much a president can do with his pen and his phone.

In the past 3 years, there has been a significant increase in illegal border crossings and a backlog of asylum cases. The speaker questions why the secretary deserves to keep his job, considering these issues. The secretary responds by acknowledging the problems and emphasizing the need for legislation to address the broken immigration system.

I’m proud to introduce Tom Homan, the next Border Czar. For the past four years, I’ve been frustrated by the current administration's actions that have compromised border security. Under President Trump, we saw unprecedented success in securing the border, with immigration down significantly. Unfortunately, President Biden has intentionally undone these efforts, leading to a crisis that has overwhelmed border patrol and increased crime, including sex trafficking and drug smuggling. We need to enforce immigration laws and carry out mass deportations for those who have received court orders. Ignoring these orders sends the wrong message about our immigration system. Everyone must work together to address this national security vulnerability. I commend the efforts in Texas and the leadership of Governor Abbott. It’s time to secure our borders and protect our communities. Thank you for your service and dedication. Game on.

We need to surge to the border to hear asylum seekers. The border is closed and secure, but officials are encountering 10,000 migrants a day. It's not a border crisis, but rather imperialism, climate, and trade crises. The president is working on immigration. There have been over 250,000 migrant encounters since December.

We led a delegation of 64 House Republicans to the border. The deputy chief of border patrol told us that the situation feels like trying to control an open fire hydrant. He said we need to reduce the flow, and one way to do that is by reinstating Trump's policy of remaining in Mexico for asylum seekers. This alone could reduce the flow by 70%, but President Biden refuses to do it. Making a few other changes would solve the problem, but he won't take action.

Most Americans believe the administration is failing on the border issue as the number of people attempting to cross the southern border is at a record high. The speaker acknowledges the broken immigration system and emphasizes the need for a safe and humane border policy in the short term. They also highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of migration in the long term. The speaker urges Congress to take action and stop playing political games, encouraging them to be part of the solution.

Communities with legal immigration feel at capacity and that the government tells them to adapt and be quiet. A Harris administration would address the broken immigration system. Months ago, some conservative members of Congress proposed a border security bill. It would have added 1500 border agents, stemmed the flow of fentanyl, and increased resources to prosecute transnational criminal organizations. Donald Trump allegedly killed the bill because he wanted to run on the problem instead of fixing it. Harris pledges to bring the bill back and sign it into law if elected. She says a comprehensive plan is needed to fortify the border and create pathways to citizenship.

The speaker asserts that the United States federal government is the world’s largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history, stating that thousands of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) are being raped at this very moment. He is a retired Border Patrol deputy patrol agent in charge in the San Diego sector, with 24 years of service, who worked under five presidents and says only one president secured the border: Donald Trump. He contrasts the border era under President Joe Biden as the opposite, describing Biden’s first day as the start of 94 executive orders that cascaded from Washington, obliterating immigration policy that had secured the border. He claims Biden, through Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, created policy out of thin air, ignored federal immigration law, and facilitated “the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen.” The speaker contends that the United States will spend hundreds of billions of dollars in four years to fund the needs of over 50,000,000 illegal aliens who populate the nation, and that “between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien,” describing the demographic shift as the greatest in modern history. After his Border Patrol career, he wrote a bestselling book titled The intentional destruction of American immigration system and produced two documentaries. He asserts that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas intentionally, strategically, and purposely weaponized illegal immigration as a tool to transform America, and that within this invasion, the unspoken evil of child trafficking—specifically child sex trafficking—has flourished. He projects that by the end of this administration, the number of trafficked children will have grown to over 550,000 UACs. He notes that these children are arrested, released into America, and then lost. To illustrate, he contrasts CBP data: in Trump’s last year, CBP arrested 30,557 UACs who were accounted for and not lost; in Biden’s first year, CBP arrested 147,975 UACs, most of which are unaccompanied and lost. In 2023, Health and Human Services officials Javier Bacera and Robin Marcos are said to have admitted that their agency had no contact with over 85,000 UACs. He asserts that DHS, HHS, and ORR did nothing to correct this humanitarian disaster; instead, they created policies to increase the efficiency of moving UACs from the border to the interior of the United States to unknown and unbonded sponsors, with unaccompanied alien children being handed off to total strangers. A year later, the inspector general overseeing DHS released a report stating the number of lost UACs was not 85,000 but over 320,000. The speaker and his business partner, Ryan Matt, spent six months traveling across America filming a documentary titled “What Is Treason Trafficked?” through which they spoke with officers, agents, and whistleblowers from various agencies. They say the federal government knowingly and actively facilitated these criminal acts.

The speaker was asked if they still believe the border should be decriminalized. The speaker responded that there should be consequences for those who cross the border illegally, and laws must be followed and enforced. The speaker claims to be the only person in the race who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations trafficking guns, drugs, and human beings. They also claim to be the only person in the race who served a border state as attorney general to enforce laws. They would enforce laws as president.

The speaker states that an historic flood of undocumented immigrants crossed the border during the first three years of the administration, with arrivals quadrupling from the last year of President Trump. The speaker asks if it was a mistake to loosen immigration policies. The other speaker responds that the policies proposed are about fixing a problem, not promoting one. The first speaker reiterates that the numbers quadrupled. The other speaker claims that they have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half, as well as the flow of fentanyl by half, but that Congress needs to act to fix the problem.

The speakers discuss immigration and border security, questioning why the Biden administration doesn't secure the border. One speaker believes Biden has the executive authority to do so. They claim the asylum system is overwhelmed, with a significant backlog and increased immigration compared to 20 years ago, even more than during the Trump administration. They discuss the percentage of cases that result in deportation, suggesting that many asylum seekers are approved, even if their initial entry wasn't legal. Some enter legally on visitor visas and then apply for asylum when their status expires, which one speaker describes as a loophole. They also claim that the Democratic Party platform is influenced by whoever gives the most money to the party, resulting in control by special interests.

The speaker asserts the southern border was secured under President Trump, upsetting some colleagues who claim it was done the wrong way. The speaker believes their colleagues are upset it was done at all, alleging President Biden reversed these measures, effectively inviting illegal immigration. The speaker estimates President Biden has allowed up to 20 million people into the country illegally, likening it to adding 10 Nebraskas. The speaker suggests that either President Biden and supporting Democrats believe in open borders, or they appointed incompetent individuals to manage the border. The speaker asks if vetting at the border is considered racist and if these foreign nationals are viewed as potential new voters. The speaker states that opposing illegal immigration while supporting legal immigration does not make someone racist, but rather someone who believes in the rule of law. The speaker concludes by reiterating the border was secured under the current administration, upsetting some colleagues.

Democrats claim that they have solutions, but the group of speakers has put forth numerous solutions, including HR too. They emphasize the importance of firsthand experiences at the border, sharing stories of women who have been raped and brutalized. They blame the increase in border deaths on failed policies and stress the need for policy changes instead of just throwing money at the issue. CBP agents express exhaustion and the impact of drug cartels on the country. They urge for the truth to be told, highlighting how migrants are exploited by cartels. They argue that President Trump had secured the border and call for a leader with the courage to take action. They criticize Joe Biden's approach and warn of a potential crisis with over 10 million people in the country. They conclude by stating that such a situation should not be allowed in the United States.

President Biden expressed his willingness to address the border issue and take action if Congress is committed to solving it. He emphasized the need for Congress to pass a bill that would enable quick and effective solutions. The speaker also mentioned the possibility of shutting down the border to resolve the issue promptly.

I started my career in immigration enforcement in 1984 and worked for 6 presidents. Every president secured the border until Biden, who intentionally left it unsecured. The border went from the most secure to historic illegal immigration levels. The administration moves people to ports of entry to show fewer illegal entries in between, but it failed. There were over 300,000 crossings from November to December. Biden's policies are causing people to come and stay, with 1.9 million "gotaways" proving the border is not secure.

An interviewer states that undocumented immigrant arrivals quadrupled during the first three years of the speaker's administration compared to the last year of President Trump's term and asks if loosening immigration policies was a mistake. The speaker responds that the problem is long-standing and that solutions have been offered since day one. The interviewer asks again if allowing the increase was a mistake. The speaker says the proposed policies are about fixing, not promoting, the problem. The interviewer reiterates that the numbers quadrupled. The speaker claims that due to their actions, they have cut the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl by half, but congressional action is needed to fix the problem.

Donald Trump, as the speaker acknowledges, could have done more to address the issue of illegal immigration during his time in office. While he had control over both houses of Congress and the White House, the number of illegal border crossings in 2020 was around 400,000. Currently, that number has risen to nearly 3,000,000. The speaker believes that there were actions Trump could have taken to address this problem, such as building a wall. However, they also acknowledge that there were some measures implemented, although they do not specify what those were.

Under President Trump, our border was more secure than under President Biden. I visited the border and spoke with Arkansas National Guard members who are there because the federal government is not doing their job. They informed us that in just one month, more people on the terrorist watch list crossed the border than during Trump's entire presidency.

The speaker, a veteran of over 40 years who worked for six presidents starting with Ronald Reagan, asserts that every president prior to Joe Biden took border security seriously for national security reasons. According to the speaker, the Trump administration handed Biden the most secure border in their lifetime, which Biden then intentionally unsecured. The speaker claims that the current administration has achieved unprecedented border success, surpassing even Trump's first term, resulting in historically low border numbers and the most secure border in the nation's history. They state that Trump's policies save lives daily, citing studies that show a correlation between decreased illegal immigration and reduced sexual assaults on women by cartels. The speaker attributes a reduction in deaths, sex trafficking, and fentanyl entering the country to Trump's policies, while claiming sex trafficking is up 600% and a quarter million Americans have died from fentanyl under Biden.

The speaker, a veteran of over 40 years who worked for six presidents starting with Ronald Reagan, asserts that every president prior to Joe Biden took border security seriously for national security reasons. According to the speaker, the Trump administration handed Biden the most secure border in their lifetime, which Biden then intentionally unsecured. The speaker claims that the current administration has surpassed Trump's first administration in border success, achieving historically low border numbers and making it the most secure border in the nation's history. They state that Trump's policies are saving lives daily by reducing illegal immigration by 96%, thereby decreasing sexual assaults, child deaths, sex trafficking, and the entry of terrorists and fentanyl. They allege that under Biden, sex trafficking is up 600%, with four thousand aliens dying and a quarter million Americans dead from fentanyl. The speaker concludes that Trump's border wall and policies save lives.

Why don’t we just clean up the border? Biden has the power to do that, but the asylum backlog is overwhelming due to increased immigration. Many cases don’t lead to deportation because they’re often approved for asylum. The current administration is influenced by special interests, which complicates immigration policy. There’s a significant number of people applying for asylum at the border, and many enter the U.S. on visitor visas before seeking asylum, exploiting a loophole. While some argue deportation is necessary, it doesn’t align with the Democratic Party platform, which is shaped by those who fund the party. This influence affects how immigration issues are addressed.

The speaker blames the Biden administration for the open border allowing illegal aliens in the country. They led the effort to impeach Secretary Mayorkas and are waiting for a Senate trial. President Trump visited the border, highlighting the issue. Joe Biden only visited after Trump's trip. The speaker believes illegal immigration is hurting America, citing tragic incidents like the murder of a University of Georgia student.
