Representative Mike Johnson: The Biden administration is reversing the vast majority of the Trump administration's successful border enforcement policies. They are systematically, they are intentionally, Secretary Mayorkas and his administration, they are dismantling immigration enforcement. They are encouraging illegal immigration. Encouraging it. Inviting people to come here…they issued orders restricting immigration officer's ability to arrest, detain and remove aliens who violate US law.
Cochise Sheriff Dannels: Out of the 1570 people that came to my county, 1500 were US citizens , coming down to commit international crime. Based on greed, they are getting paid three thousand dollars per person to drive them [illegals] three hours north up to Phoenix, Arizona…they pick them up along the highways…we get them [people that drive illegals to their destination] from the mid-west, we get them from all over…this is human smuggling.
McClintock: Border Patrol Officers told me…"Don't send us more money, they'll only use it to process illegals faster into this country."
McClintock: Illegal aliens are now being rapidly, and efficiently, trafficked by our government to every community in our nation. What the democrats have never explained is how our schools are made better by packing classrooms with non-English speaking students, How our hospitals are made more accessible by flooding emergency rooms with illegals demanding care. How our social safety net is strengthened by adding millions of impoverished and dependent individuals to systems that are already strained to the breaking point. How our neighborhoods are made safer by introducing violent cartels to our communities, and making it impossible to deport criminal illegal aliens, How our nation is made safer, as known terrorists are encountered entering our country in record numbers. How our children are made more secure with fentanyl pouring across our border, Or how working families are helped by flooding the labor market with cheap illegal labor. This is the nightmare that the democrats have unleashed upon our country.
Representative Bishop: [The cartels] have an extraordinary capacity to operate in Mexico, to the point that they can take on the Mexican Army. Isn't that true?
Texas Judge Samaniego: I'm not sure if that's a true statement.
Bishop: [Cartels] had a running battle with the Mexican Army; helicopter gunships were deployed to fire, and they were firing at them. There was open warfare in the city. You do understand that, right, sir?
Judge Samaniego: I do understand that.
Bishop: You don't see it as possible, that in a future, with an uncontrolled border, a border that we can't control, that those same conditions could exist on the streets of American cities?
Judge Samaniego: I believe that's not the case.
Bishop: Are the cartels strengthened by the fees they receive for trafficking humans across the border?
Judge Samaniego: I think there's a lot of assumptions…
Bishop: Is that a hard question to answer yes or no?
Judge Samaniego: Give me the question straight, so I can understand.
Bishop: Billions in income come to the cartels…nobody comes across the Rio Grande, nobody comes across the border without paying a fee of thousands. And many of these people don't have thousands, so they enter a life of indentured servitude, until they pay it off. Their family might be tortured to pay for it. And the cartels earn billions from it. Is that not true?
Judge Samaniego: It's true, but it's true on the Trump era as well.
Roy: The democrat mayor of El Paso has been busing people [illegals] to New York City. Truth?
Judge Samaniego: No.
Roy: The democrat mayor of El Paso has not been putting people on buses, sending them to New York City?
Judge Samaniego: Not without notification at the other end.
Sheriff Dannels: It's seven thousand and up to be smuggled by the criminal cartels. For the drivers coming to my county, going north to Phoenix, Maricopa County [transporting illegals], it's three thousand dollars per person.
Representative Correa: I just got back from Central America, and the going price is about twenty-two thousand dollars, and most of the women, eighty percent of the women, by the time they get to El Paso, to our southern border, are either raped or sexually abused.
