Wake Up, America

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, from time to time we talk about the crisis at the border, but we still don't talk about it enough. A lot of times I get people saying, well, maybe these are all wonderful people, maybe they will get a job. It is still a big problem because you are having people skip in line ahead of people who are doing things right.

But something came out in the last few weeks that ought to have people really mad--it maybe should even wake up the Biden administration, who has done so much, I think, to permanently damage this country--and that is news that Venezuela may be sending people here out of their prisons.

Can you imagine any quicker way to ruin America than to accept people from other countries who are emptying out their prisons?

But that is apparently what is going on.

And nothing is done. We still have over 150,000 people a month crossing the border, even now, knowing that probably we are getting people who are committing crimes, heinous crimes in Venezuela, and sending them here, and the communist government of Venezuela, I am sure, is laughing all the way.

Please, America, and, please, our comatose press corps, wake up and educate America that we may be ruined because we have criminals coming here from Venezuela and allowed to cross the border.
