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.

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.

The speaker states they will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump tanked and do more to secure the border. To reduce illegal border crossings, they will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. Those who cross unlawfully will be apprehended, removed, and barred from reentering for 5 years, with repeat violators facing more severe criminal charges. The speaker claims that if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal point of entry and instead crosses unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum. The speaker's goal is to have an orderly and secure system, while understanding that many people are desperate to migrate to the United States.

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.

The speaker emphasizes that the border is not open and clarifies that thousands of people are crossing the border daily, with some surrendering themselves and others evading capture. They mention the importance of securing the border and highlight the efforts made by the president to address the situation since day one. Additionally, they mention the country's economic strength and refer to the January 6th attack as the most severe assault on democracy.

Mexico provided 28,000 soldiers to secure the border, making it the safest in US history. Texas has also made significant progress in border security. The operations are compared to a military operation, with measures like the "Remain in Mexico" policy, asylum bans, and rapid removals being highlighted as effective. The previous practice of catch and release has been replaced by catch and release in Mexico. The importance of Title 42 and rapid removals is emphasized.

Under my leadership, the US had the most secure border in history. We replaced catch and release with detain and deport, and implemented title 42 to instantly expel illegal aliens. However, when Joe Biden took office, he terminated successful border policies, opened the borders, and allowed millions of illegal aliens into the US. Now, Biden plans to remove the remaining parts of title 42, leading to mayhem and lawlessness as fraudulent asylum seekers flood in unchecked. Tens of thousands of illegal aliens are already massed on the Mexican side of the border, ready to storm in. This mass resettlement of millions will be aided by the Biden administration. Congress should cut funding for catch and release and prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to release illegal aliens. We must fight to save our country from this invasion.

Since President Biden and congressional Democrats took control, America has faced numerous crises. Prices for everyday goods are skyrocketing, the border is overwhelmed with illegal migrants and dangerous drugs, crime is rampant, and our children are falling behind in education. House Republicans are committed to leading a new direction. They will work to strengthen the economy, make America energy independent, secure the border, reduce crime, protect national security, ensure student success, confront big tech, and hold Washington accountable. After two years of Democratic failures, it's time for a change.

Republicans must make a decision on the strongest border bill ever, as doing nothing is not an option. The former president opposes the bill because he wants to use the border problem as a political issue against me. It is widely acknowledged that the American people want a solution that ends the ineffective political rhetoric.

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 speaker describes a scenario of a trendy illegal immigrant arriving at the U.S. Southwest border during the 2023 crisis, aided by taxpayer-funded NGOs, and released into the interior with a notice to appear in immigration court. He asserts the person will file a bare-bones, frivolous asylum application, aided by another NGO, and that due to a nearly 4,000,000-case immigration court backlog, the case will take years to be heard. In the meantime, the individual is said to move to a major city, receive taxpayer-funded benefits, commit crimes, be supported by sanctuary-city leadership, and be defended by Democrats who oppose strict immigration laws. The process allegedly drags on with continuances and motions, and years later an immigration judge supposedly denies the asylum claim. The individual is said to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals, which allegedly takes months or years, followed by appellate denial in a federal court of appeals. The speaker charges that federal departments and courts expend many taxpayer dollars on such cases, all to deport an apparently frivolous claimant. The focal policy proposal is the expedited removal of criminal aliens act, described as straightforward: criminal aliens cannot misuse the asylum system and must be detained and deported quickly if they are in the U.S. with certain criminal convictions. The speaker notes that current law already permits expedited removal for aggravated felon aliens, who are considered ineligible for asylum and relief and are presumed deportable; this is said to be constitutionally upheld by every federal court of appeals that has addressed it. The bill would expand categories of criminal aliens who may face removal proceedings when in criminal custody and authorize the Department of Homeland Security to place additional criminals in expedited removal. It would allow fast-track deportation for non-lawful permanent residents who are in a gang, transnational criminal organization, or foreign terrorist organization, or who have been convicted of dangerous crimes. The bill’s specified conviction categories include: any felony; any misdemeanor against a member of a vulnerable group; any assault on a law enforcement officer; any sexual offense; any crime of domestic violence; any stalking; any crime against children; sex trafficking or sexual exploitation of minors; sexual abuse of a minor; any activity involving child sexual exploitation; or any violation of a protective order. The term “vulnerable group” covers a child under 16, a pregnant woman, a person with severe disability, and seniors over 65. The speaker cites a poll claiming 78% of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, including nearly 70% of Democrats, and asserts broad public support for tougher immigration action while criticizing Democrats’ handling of border policy. He accuses Democrats of previously expanding border openings, cites alleged prior high border encounters, millions of entrants, and 2,000,000 “gotaways,” along with terrorists allegedly released and a record immigration court backlog, blaming the Democrats for a perceived border crisis. He argues recent House actions and votes against border-security measures and declares the bill a step toward securing the border and reforming immigration policy, urging support. He concludes by urging colleagues to back the expedited removal of criminal aliens act.

Speaker 0 expresses the urgency of securing the border and standing up for the American people. He shares a story of a constituent who feels abandoned by the government. He emphasizes the need for border security before discussing other issues like Ukraine. Speaker 0 highlights the importance of passing HR 2 with necessary fixes and ensuring the safety of unaccompanied children. He criticizes the lack of spending restraint and calls for actual cuts in spending. Speaker 0 urges Republicans to prioritize the American people over political agendas and suggests staying in Washington to address these issues.

You recently visited the southern border and discussed President Biden's crackdown on asylum seekers, which he implemented in response to increasing border issues. This included an executive order that significantly reduced border crossings. However, the administration's approach in 2021 was different. Upon taking office, Biden and Harris suspended the "Remain in Mexico" policy and halted border wall construction. They initiated a review of Trump-era immigration policies, aiming to reverse controversial measures. Biden signed three executive orders to address these issues, emphasizing the need for time to establish more migrant-friendly systems. They also reviewed the expedited removal process and expanded the refugee admissions program, rescinding restrictions from the previous administration.

The speaker aims to clarify the situation regarding the Senate bill and HR 2. Upon the Senate bill's release, House members, including the speaker, deemed it unacceptable due to its failure to secure the southern border. House Republicans had previously passed HR 2, border security measures, over a year prior. Chuck Schumer has not brought it up for debate or a vote in the Senate. The White House has not contacted Speaker Johnson to negotiate or compromise on HR 2. The speaker states that House Republicans opposed the Senate bill before Donald Trump voiced his opinion, considering it a "trash bill."

House Republicans will continue to push the Save Act, which aims to ensure legal and constitutional elections. Republicans claim nearly every Democrat opposes the Save Act and wants "illegals" to vote. They intend to include secure elections as part of government funding discussions. Republicans will fight for this principle along with border security. Chuck Schumer has failed to put anything on the floor to ensure only legal American citizens are able to vote and has refused to pass HR 2, the Secure the Border Act, to return to Trump's border policies. Kamala Harris owns the economic, national security, and humanitarian open border crisis that her policies created.

During my leadership, we had the most secure border in US history. We replaced catch and release with detain and deport, and implemented title 42, which allowed for instant expulsion of illegal aliens. However, when Joe Biden took office, he terminated successful border policies, opened the borders, and resettled millions of illegal aliens. Now, he plans to remove the remaining shreds of our border policy, leading to mayhem and lawlessness. Countless fraudulent asylum seekers will flood into the US, and states like California offer free healthcare and education, attracting more people. It's absolute lunacy. Congress should cut funding for catch and release and prevent the Biden administration from using taxpayer dollars to release illegal aliens. We must fight to secure our country's survival.

Democrats claim that they have solutions, but the group here has put forth numerous solutions, such as HR2 and efforts in the Senate. They emphasize the importance of firsthand experiences, like visiting the border, to understand the severity of the situation. They recount stories of women being raped and brutalized, highlighting the need for action. They blame Joe Biden's policies for the increase in border deaths and assert that throwing money at the issue won't solve it; policies need to change. They stress the impact of drug cartels and urge for the truth to be told. They argue that President Trump had secured the border and call for a leader with the courage to do the same. They criticize Biden's proposed supplemental plan and predict a significant increase in the number of people in the country. They conclude by stating that this situation should not be allowed to happen in the United States.

The speaker was asked when the border situation became a crisis, and responded that the immigration system has been broken for a long time, even before the Trump administration. The speaker stated the system needs to be fixed and more resources are needed, such as more judges to process cases faster. Congress is the only place that can fix it. The questioner noted that many Trump border policies were rescinded and that the border patrol union supported a bipartisan bill, but also endorsed Donald Trump and called the current administration a failure on border security.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are holding a hearing titled "A Country Without Borders" to examine the Biden-Harris administration's border policies. Chairman Mark Green says the hearing will reveal the realities of the last four years. Lawmakers will hear from Rachel Moran's grieving mother, who blames the administration for her daughter's death, a former border patrol chief, and a county supervisor from the San Diego sector. Republicans claim that over 8,000,000 migrants have illegally crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, a 237% increase over the Trump years, and that the number of individuals on the terror watch list has surged. Recent polling reportedly shows broad support for Trump's mass deportation plan, including support from a quarter of Democrats polled.

Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in US history. We replaced catch and release with detain and deport, and implemented title 42 for instant expulsion of illegal aliens. However, when Joe Biden took office, he terminated successful border policies, opened the borders, and resettled millions of illegal aliens. Now, he plans to remove the remaining shreds of our border policy, leading to mayhem and lawlessness. Countless fraudulent asylum seekers will flood into the US, and states like California offer free healthcare and education, attracting more illegal immigrants. Congress should cut funding for catch and release and prevent the administration from using taxpayer dollars to release illegal aliens. We must fight to secure our country and remove the illegal aliens Biden allowed in.

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 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.

According to Speaker 1, the open border is the biggest national security vulnerability the country has ever seen. CBP data indicates that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released into the country under Joe Biden, compared to zero under the Trump administration. Speaker 1 claims that under President Trump, the U.S. had the most secure border in history, preventing the release of special interest aliens. While over 10,000,000 people crossed the border under Joe Biden, the biggest concern is the 2,000,000 known gotaways. Speaker 1 states that these individuals crossed undetected because Border Patrol was overwhelmed, creating a significant national security vulnerability.

President Trump secured the border, saving lives. The Biden administration could have done the same, but chose not to, undoing all of Trump's work. This wasn't incompetence; it was a deliberate action. Over 90 executive orders reversed border security measures. I believe their motivation is multifaceted. Some genuinely favor open borders, while others see political gain in welcoming millions of potential Democratic voters. Furthermore, reversing Trump's census rule allows millions of undocumented immigrants to be counted, potentially increasing Democratic representation in the House. Ultimately, they sacrificed national security for future political power.
