Vice President Harris is promising to hire thousands more border agents, raising questions about President Biden's effectiveness on border issues. However, it's assumed she thinks he isn't doing a good job, which isn't accurate. The President supports increasing border patrol agents but faces opposition from Republicans in Congress and former President Trump, who have hindered progress. There was a bipartisan agreement that the President worked on for months, but it was stalled due to political maneuvering aimed at undermining Biden. The President believes in the need for more border agents and is actively working towards that goal.

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.

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported, and if you enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught just went up. According to Speaker 1, these actions are lawful and have been taken by both Republican and Democratic presidents for the past half century. Speaker 0 claims the media portrays Trump negatively for deporting illegal alien criminals, while Obama, Bill Clinton, and other Democrats were on board with this for years. Speaker 2 states their administration has moved aggressively to secure the borders by hiring a record number of new border guards, deporting twice as many criminal aliens, cracking down on illegal hiring, and barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. Speaker 3 says using phrases like "undocumented workers" conveys that the government is not serious about combating illegal immigration. Speaker 1 says we cannot allow people to pour into The United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Speaker 2 says they will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes and to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace. Speaker 0 claims Obama deported 5,300,000 people, and Bill Clinton deported 12,300,000, questioning why there is a sudden change of heart now.

Speaker 0 asks about the danger to US communities from 13,000 people convicted of murder who crossed the border illegally. Speaker 1 responds that the numbers being reported are a false representation of the data. Speaker 1 states that total returns and removals in the past year have been higher than every year under the previous administration since 2010. Speaker 1 insists that data should be reported accurately to avoid confusing or lying to the American people, and that the misrepresentation has been fact-checked and debunked by multiple outlets.

When I became president, border numbers significantly decreased. I worked hard for bipartisan support to increase border security personnel, but faced opposition.

Vice President Harris is promising to hire thousands more border agents, raising questions about President Biden's effectiveness on border issues. However, it's assumed that Harris believes Biden is ineffective, which isn't accurate. The President supports increasing border patrol agents, but faces opposition from Republicans in Congress and former President Trump, who have hindered progress. There was a bipartisan agreement that Biden worked on for months, but it was blocked due to political motives. The President remains committed to addressing border security and believes in the need for more agents.

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 points to a chart showing a sharp decrease in illegal immigration during their time in office. They claim it was the lowest in history. They criticize the current president for a significant increase in illegal immigration, estimating around 20 million people. The speaker suggests looking at more recent data for a clearer picture.

The speaker points out that the claim made by the White House about the impact of a bill on border patrol and veterans benefits is false, as the bill had no appropriations and the members of Congress who put it together vowed it wouldn't affect funding. The speaker questions whether voters can distinguish between truth and spin and finds it insulting to keep repeating false statements. The speaker then highlights that the bill touted by House Republicans would have eliminated 2,000 border patrol agents, causing obstruction in dealing with border issues. The speaker appreciates the bipartisan conversation with Senate Republicans and Democrats on the border, as House Republicans have hindered progress.

The speaker presents a hypothetical scenario of an illegal gang member arriving at the U.S. Southwest border during the Biden-Harris era in 2023. He traveled with assistance from taxpayer-funded NGOs and, after being encountered, was released into the interior with a notice to appear in immigration court and a work permit. The individual files a bare-bones asylum application that is described as frivolous. Because the immigration court backlog is nearly 4,000,000 cases, the case would take years to adjudicate. In the meantime, the person would relocate to a major city, receive taxpayer-funded benefits, potentially commit crimes, be protected by sanctuary city leadership, and be defended by Democrats who allegedly say immigration laws are too harsh. The asylum claim would be denied by an immigration judge years later, followed by appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals, then to a federal court of appeals, all taking months or years and expending extensive federal resources. The speaker claims this illustrates a broader pattern in what he calls “open borders” policies and a system that wastes federal resources on frivolous claims. The speaker introduces the bill: the Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act. It aims to prevent criminal aliens from exploiting the asylum system and to ensure quicker deportation. It states that foreign nationals convicted of certain crimes are ineligible for immigration relief, must be detained, and deported quickly. The speaker notes that decades of immigration law already authorize a more efficient process to remove certain dangerous criminal aliens through administrative or expedited removal, particularly for aggravated felons, with due process upheld in federal appellate courts. The bill would expand categories of criminal aliens who may be placed in removal proceedings when in criminal custody and authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to place additional criminals in expedited removal proceedings. It would allow DHS to fast-track deportation for aliens who are not lawful permanent residents and who are part of a criminal gang, transnational criminal organization, or foreign terrorist organization, or who have been convicted of dangerous crimes. The speaker then lists the specific crimes that would trigger eligibility under the bill: any felony; any misdemeanor against a member of a vulnerable group; assault on a law enforcement officer; sexual offenses; domestic violence; stalking; crimes against children; sex trafficking of a minor or sexual abuse of a minor; activities involving exploitation of minors or violations of protective orders. The “vulnerable group” includes children under 16, pregnant women, individuals with severe physical or mental disabilities, and seniors over 65. The speaker cites polling: 78% of Americans support deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have committed crimes, including nearly 70% of Democrats; 56% support deporting all illegal immigrants, with 36% of Democrats agreeing. He contrasts these views with what he claims were Democratic actions during the previous administration: high border encounters, 8,000,000 illegal entries (including 2,000,000 gotaways), hundreds on the terrorist watch list encountered and released, and a record immigration court backlog. He accuses Democrats of inaction on border security and comprehensive immigration reform, citing several bills the House allegedly passed or votes by Democrats against, including bills on border security, identity theft, driving-while-illegal offenses, and increasing penalties for felons, as well as naming acts after victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens. He concludes by arguing that the American people rejected the Democratic approach and gave Congress a mandate to secure the border and reform the immigration system, and asserts that the expedited removal bill moves toward that goal.

6 Democrats voted against a bill because Donald Trump preferred to campaign on the problem rather than solve it. The speaker believes the American people want solutions and a president focused on fixing issues, not playing political games. The bill in question would have allowed 1,800,000 illegal immigrants into the country annually, which many conservatives opposed.

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.

Former President Trump accuses the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants. The White House denies this claim, calling it categorically false. According to the White House, the Washington Post Fact Checker published an article with the headline, "No. Biden did not take FEMA relief money to use on migrants, but Trump did."

Illegal immigration hit record lows under border patrol services. However, after a change in leadership, around 20 million people entered the country. The data shown is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

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.

The Biden administration does not aim to let migrants cross the border to alter America's political landscape. In fact, since May of last year, more individuals have been removed or sent back than in any year since 2015, all within less than 12 months.

After I left office, illegal immigration hit an all-time low, confirmed by government services and border patrol data. The current administration saw a significant increase, with around 20 million people entering illegally. The data is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

When I became president, border numbers decreased significantly. I advocated for a bipartisan agreement to increase border personnel and resources. However, there was resistance, with requests to avoid actions that might make someone look unfavorable.

The speaker asserts that decreased fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border are due to the current administration's strong border policies and strengthened relationship with the Mexican president. They claim there is no mystery to the drop in fentanyl seizures and criticize a Washington Post headline suggesting otherwise. The speaker accuses the Washington Post of intentionally manipulating Americans and alleges that the newspaper refused to publish the office's reasons for the drop in fentanyl seizures, calling this "despicable."

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.

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.

What they've done at the border should never be forgotten. Border numbers have dropped 95%, and as of this morning, 99.1%. The speaker asks why these numbers are not in the media, suggesting that "fake news" outlets like CNN don't want to put out good numbers because they hate the country. The speaker characterizes the turnaround at the border as "crazy."

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.

We filed the continued resolution on Saturday, but the House Democrats leadership team released a statement on Friday panning a bill they hadn't even seen yet. They claimed it would cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans benefits. But every single word of that is a lie. The clean CR contains no policy riders at all, no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security, and no cuts to veterans benefits. In fact, we plus up the accounts for veterans. I'm asking reporters to call out Democrats for making these intentionally false claims. The American people deserve clarity from our press corps.
