00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:04I rise today in strong opposition to the highly partisan resolution criticizing Vice President
00:10Kamala Harris' work on the border.
00:13Like so many Americans, my constituents are sick and tired, and they're worried that immigration
00:19and border security are being used as political talking points instead of a policy priority.
00:25And I agree.
00:26But facts are facts.
00:28It's been over a hundred days since congressional Republicans walked away from the table on
00:32the most comprehensive, bipartisan border security deal in decades because former President
00:39Trump wants to politicize the issue rather than to find an actual solution.
00:45Let's be clear.
00:46Trump killed the deal.
00:47Mr. Speaker, the best way to restore order at the border and fix our broken immigration
00:53system is passing a bill through Congress.
00:56That's exactly what the Biden-Harris administration wanted to do.
01:00I know we can get this done, but only if we work together, not as Democrats and Republicans,
01:05but as Americans.
01:07Thank you, and I yield back the balance of my time.
