Democrats' Plan to Put Mass Amnesty in Reconciliation Package
Floor Speech

Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, today I had a chance to ask some questions to Attorney General Garland and talk about what is happening at the Department of Justice.
What became very evident as we were having our question-and-answer today is that there are two sets of rules in America. It starts with our immigration system, where we are seeing people come across our southern border, people being imported from all parts of the world, and they are getting free things from the American people. They get food stamps. They get free housing. They get all of those things that are free, while Americans have to pay for it.
One of the questions I posed to the Attorney General is in regard to Facebook, and I think that very much highlights that there are two sets of rules in America. Recently, Facebook Vice President William Castleberry, said: ``We do allow people to share information about how to enter a country illegally or request information about how to be smuggled.''
Don't you think an administration, in particular an Attorney General, would be concerned about that?
Let me read to you U.S. Code title 8, subsection 1324. It makes it illegal for any person to knowingly encourage or induce an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States in violation of law or for individuals to aid or abet illegal entry.
Yet, Facebook is allowed to do that. Are they a full-blown subsidiary of the Biden administration at this point? A person has to be very concerned over the last couple months that that is what is happening.
The Attorney General would not make a commitment that he is going to investigate what is illegal activity from one of the largest companies in the United States of America and, clearly, one of the most powerful companies in the United States of America.
Also what came out of our hearing today, in my State is Fort McCoy, and we have been hearing stories coming out of Fort McCoy as a result of the mass migration perpetrated on the American people by the Biden administration over the last 2 months.
We found out very early on that there was no SIV process that was going on, no Special Immigrant Visa process. They were just being waived in on parole.
We found out people could leave any time that they want to. We found out that 600 people were in quarantine with measles, COVID, and tuberculosis--just being allowed into our country.
We found out that there were people being charged with violent crimes, a man raping two young boys in that camp at Fort McCoy. We found out that a man was beating his wife to death at Fort McCoy. We found out at Fort Bliss that a female soldier was being beaten by Afghan men.
The American people wonder; they wonder why there are two sets of rules.
My good friend and colleague, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry), brought up the story in regard to the rape on the Philadelphia train that has horrified Americans. The assailant was an illegal immigrant with prior convictions related to sexual abuse and drugs. He should have been deported. However, he was allowed to stay in the United States after an appeals board determined that his prior sex crime was not serious enough to merit his removal.
I asked the Justice Department, how serious does a sex crime have to be?
These are the two sets of rules that we are seeing in America, and they are seeing it in a stark basis, with the mass migration that is coming into our country.
We have an Attorney General that is being urged by school boards across the country to entertain the use of the PATRIOT Act on mothers and parents. We won't use the PATRIOT Act on people who propose to come into the United States of America illegally, but we will use it on our own citizens? Something is wrong, America.
