Press Releases 118th Congress

As prepared for delivery:

Good evening.

President Biden's failed leadership destabilized our national security and that of our allies. Whether at home or abroad, the world has gotten more dangerous on his watch—not less. That much is indisputable. House Republicans are committed to safeguarding Americans and our strategic partners from the fallout of this President's reckless decision-making.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon.

Israel is under attack. Iran fired upwards of 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles, and over 120 ballistic missiles towards our greatest friend, major non-NATO ally, and lone democracy in the region on Saturday. Congress must show the world Israel has a right to defend itself. America fully stands behind the Israeli people and will not hesitate to provide them with the latitude and tools they need to beat back yet another threat to their very existence.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

President Biden didn't inherit the current chaos we see at the southern border—he created it.

Within his first hours in office, he halted construction of the border wall, and in the days that followed, issued numerous executive actions that invited an open border and lawlessness.

He suspended deportations, ended asylum agreements, instituted catch-and-release, granted mass parole, and even unveiled amnesty plans. The result has been the worst border crisis ever recorded in the United States.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon.

President Biden has failed to enforce our immigration laws and secure our southern border. The crisis he created has unleashed devastating consequences across the nation. The White House continues to prioritize progressive ideology over public safety, and their policies allow dangerous criminals to illegally cross into the United States and freely roam our streets. Bad actors are emboldened knowing the U.S. government will do nothing to remove them from the country.

Good afternoon.

Today’s hearing covers a single item, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act.

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has testified before Congress that "the border is secure."

The facts tell us the contrary.

In December, we reached the highest number of migrant encounters ever recorded in American history.

This number alone represents an abject failure of this administration, but the far-reaching consequences of the crisis they created are even more startling.
