Jackson-Lee Judiciary Hearing on Criminal Aliens]: We were far closer to common ground in 2008, 2010, with Senator McClain [kek] and the gang of eight. I wish America had taken up that opportunity.

[that 'opportunity' was amnesty for illegal aliens]

Jackson-Lee: We have accusatory commentary of Soros DAs. Let us not put an individual that is not here, a contributing American, and jeopardize his life for all ways, throwing his name out in the most ugliest of ways. I am offended at that. Mr. Soros does not deserve that. He is an American and a patriot, and he also comes from a minority community, one might say, and you create a dangerous situation [by pointing out the crimes of Soros DAs].

Chairman McClintock: Chief Batista, I assume the policies you advocated for here today are the policies you have practiced as Chief of the Santa Monica police department since you took that position in October 2021.

Batista: Yes sir, that's correct.

McClintock: According to a CBS report from April of 2022, Santa Monica was one of the most unsafe cities in California…Part One Offenses, the most serious offenses, have increased fourteen percent in the first quarter of 2023, when compared with the same timeframe in 2022. So the policies you have advocated don't seem to be working.

Batista: Those statistics are correct as you have enumerated them.

Hunt: Biden's policies have resulted in countless numbers of minors being abused and bused across our border, and sold into sex slavery. Under the guise of protecting illegal aliens, the Biden administration is in fact protecting human traffickers, and harming God's children. Our children.

Hunt: I've also heard some of my colleagues on the left say that the global sex trafficking of children is a QANON conspiracy. According to the New York Times, eighty-five thousand migrant children that's entered our country have been lost. They've been vanished. And where do you think they went? You know exactly where they went, and what's happening is grotesque, it is wrong, and if we can't protect our children, if we can't protect the world's children, then we absolutely have no future.
