Highlighting Issues with the Biden Administration

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding. I know that we have talked a lot about different crises, and we do have a lot of different crises. We have an economic crisis. We have an inflation crisis. We have an energy cost crisis. We have a supply chain crisis. We have an education crisis. We have a crime crisis. We have a COVID response crisis. We have a healthcare crisis. We have a foreign relations and security crisis. We have a freedom of speech crisis. We have a centralized government and infringement on our rights crisis.

There is one crisis that is very disturbing and concerning to me as a naturalized American who immigrated to this great country. I went to the border three times, and what I saw was lawlessness; its issue of national security, its anarchy, and it is a crisis that has posed a risk to our sovereignty as a nation.

We can see what has happened in the country. Drug cartels are controlling the border. They control drug trafficking and are making billions from that. We have the highest deaths from overdoses in our country that ever existed. Our kids are dying, and they are making a lot of money. The border is open. No one can control it. It poses risks to our national security.

I hope for us all as Americans who care about our country, that our President at least starts dealing with this crisis because it is a serious issue, and we cannot disregard national security of the greatest country that ever existed on Earth and put our people at risk.

It is our responsibility as Representatives for this Republic to stand up, regardless of party affiliations, and raise the issues, and we owe a duty to the American people.
