House Republicans Delivering Results for American People

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LUTTRELL. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Madam Speaker, the Biden administration's open-border policies turned our border into a gateway for cartels, human traffickers, and criminals, putting American lives at risk and endangering innocent children.

That is why I introduced legislation to hold DHS and HHS accountable for properly vetting and tracking unaccompanied migrant children.

Under the Biden administration, HHS lost contact with over 300,000 children. Under the Biden administration, 300,000 children were lost. Let that sink in. That is not just incompetence. It is an absolute tragedy.

We must hold traffickers accountable and ensure that illegal immigrants who break our laws face real consequences. Our border must be secured, and those who exploit our system, whether criminals or failed bureaucrats, must answer for their failures. The American people deserve law and order.

Thankfully, Republicans and the Trump administration are quickly cleaning up the mess that Joe Biden left us.
