00:00Thank you for hosting this and for leading this effort.

00:03So in Florida, it's the number one issue in the state.

00:07People are worried about the border.

00:08People are worried about fentanyl deaths.

00:10Last week, I did a fentanyl roundtable, and I had parents there that lost their kids.

00:14And they know who did it.

00:15They know Joe Biden did it.

00:16They know Joe Biden's policy of open borders killed their family member.

00:20I talked to one mom that her son came home to surprise her for Mother's Day, was given

00:28a drug that his friend bought online.

00:30He was dead.

00:32I talked to law enforcement.

00:34They're dealing with an unbelievable amount of crime.

00:37Criminals are coming in.

00:38As we know, Venezuela, Maduro's emptied his prisons and sent all the criminals here.

00:42I talked to family members.

00:43They're scared about their neighborhoods.

00:45So this is what Biden has done.

00:48He created a country now where we don't have borders.

00:51Drugs are flowing in.

00:52Terrorists are flowing in.

00:53Criminals are flowing in.

00:55And what Chuck Schumer's worried about is he's only worried about the election.

00:59He's not worried about solving the problem.

01:00This is not a bill that secures the border.

01:02This is a bill that codifies what Biden has done.

01:05And we're not going to do it.

01:07We're all fed up with what they've done.

01:09They've made this country less safe.

01:12Each of us had a variety of amendments.

01:13Mine is going to be that simply says we're not going to keep funding all these people

01:17coming across and getting all these freebies, stop all these not-for-profit groups that

01:22are just getting all this free money to bring more and more and more illegal immigrants

01:25here with drugs that might have a criminal background and it might be terrorists.

01:29This has got to stop.
