That bipartisan deal would hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges to help tackle a backload of 2 million cases, 4,300 more asylum officers, and new policies so they can resolve cases in 6 months instead of 6 years now. What are you against? 100 more high-tech drug detection machines to significantly increase the ability to screen and stop vehicles smuggling fentanyl into America?
This bill would save lives and bring order to the border. It will also give me and any new president new emergency authority to temporarily shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming.
Just think about Laken Riley. This beautiful, 22-year- old nursing student went out on a jog one morning. But she never got the opportunity to return home. She was brutally murdered by one of the millions of illegal border crossers President Biden chose to release into our homeland. Tonight, President Biden finally said her name. But he refused to take responsibility for his own actions.
Mr. President, enough is enough. Innocent Americans are dying. And you only have yourself to blame. Reverse your policies. End this crisis. And stop the suffering.
When I left office, we gave Joe Biden the most secure border in U.S. history--we gave him Remain in Mexico--very tough to get, but I got it, Safe Third Agreements, the Asylum ban, Title 42, 571 miles of border wall, Rapid Deportations, and much more. We had the safest border in the history of our country.
As soon as he got in, Crooked Joe and his Radical Left lunatics deliberately dismantled each and every one of those policies that were so good that gave us this best border, according to Tom Holman, according to Brandon Judd, the top people. They said it was the single best border we've ever had in recorded history. What's happened now is a horror show. The country--our country--is being laughed at all over the world.
The VERY FIRST BILL Joe Biden sent to Congress was a plan to turn illegal aliens into voting citizens. That's just what we need. No matter what Crooked Joe says, his actions prove his priority is to import a colossal new illegal alien population and let them all stay--my priority is securing our border, and sending Crooked Joe's illegals back home.
"Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal," Biden said, misstating Riley's first name. Some high-profile Democrats criticized him for using the phrase "illegal," which some argue is dehumanizing.
"Let me be clear: No human being is illegal," Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., posted on X.
As Biden entered the House chamber [for his State of the Union speech, Marjorie Taylor] Greene gave him a pin with text that said: "Say her name: Laken Riley," the University of Georgia student who was murdered. As he discussed border security and immigration, Greene interrupted Biden and challenged him to say Riley's name.

BIDEN: "new emergency authority to temporarily shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming."
FactCheck: The government's ability to quickly remove people from the U.S. would still hinge on its resources, and other countries' willingness to take back immigrants.
BIDEN: "hire 100 more immigration judges to help tackle the backload of 2 million cases."
FactCheck: The backlog number is higher--there are more than 3 million cases in immigration courts as of November 2023. The bill called for "4,300 more asylum officers."
