The Biden Crises

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, since President Biden stepped foot in the White House, over 2 million illegal migrants have invaded our southern border, making the last 12 months an all-time record high. Even DHS Secretary Mayorkas recently admitted that the border is ``worse now than it, frankly, has been in at least 20 years, if not ever.'' Well, that ``if not ever'' part is certainly the truth. I couldn't agree with him more.

The difference is that my Republican colleagues and I actually want to bring an end to this nonsense, not gaslight the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who are tirelessly working around the clock to keep Americans safe.

Unfortunately, the reach of Biden's self-inflicted border crisis extends far beyond our southern border. Illegal migrants, including those with criminal records, are being transported all across the country. I am sure you have seen the videos from this past week of illegals being released with GPS ankle bracelets. You don't put a GPS ankle bracelet on anyone but a criminal.

In fact, TSA is allowing illegal migrants to use arrest warrants as an alternative form of ID to board airplanes. This negligent policy defies logic by allowing criminals to fly across the country at a time when illegal migration is out of control and crime is surging throughout most major cities. We must stop this insanity.

Shame on the Biden administration for putting illegal migrants, human traffickers, drug smugglers, dangerous criminals, and terrorists above the American people. It is long past time that we put an end to this chaos and lawlessness.

Mr. President, what will it take to shut down the illegal border crossings? America is waiting for your answer, sir.
