00:00Chuck Schumer is going to bring to the floor of the Senate a so-called immigration bill
00:07this week that he knows is doomed to fail, because it failed the last time he tried the
00:12same trick.
00:15Democrats are desperately trying to deflect the blame for the damage that's been caused
00:20to our country as a result of our wide-open southern border.
00:23People all across the country know that it's the Democrats' fault for bringing in the drugs,
00:28the death, the destruction that comes from our southern border.
00:32When Joe Biden took that first step into the White House as president, our southern border
00:37was secure.
00:39He threw open the border along with the Democrats, and 10 million illegal immigrants invaded
00:45our country.
00:47People on the criminal watch list, cartel criminals, drug dealers, people from all parts
00:52of the world came across our southern border.
00:57Just a few weeks ago, a couple of those illegal immigrants who came in were arrested trying
01:02to break in to our Marine Corps base that holds our combat command.
01:09One apparently was on the terrorist watch list.
01:13So what did Biden's Homeland Security director in the department say?
01:16Well, they dummied up.
01:18They wouldn't tell us anything about the identity or the intentions of those individuals.
01:23What they said is that the privacy of those illegal immigrants outweighed the right of
01:30public interest.
01:31They said minimal public interest.
01:33Well, look, Republicans continue to fight for the public interest, for public safety.
01:40Democrats are fighting for it and voting for wide-open borders.
01:44They're the ones that stopped construction of the border wall.
01:47They're the ones that stopped telling people to leave the country, evicting people who
01:51were here who were criminal illegal immigrants.
01:54They're the ones that stopped allowing the Border Patrol to enforce the laws of the land.
02:00So Chuck Schumer is going to be in here trying to throw a Hail Mary pass to save his vulnerable
02:05Democrats.
02:07The election is just a few months away.
02:09The American people will have an opportunity at that time to hold accountable Joe Biden
02:15and these open border Democrats.
