00:00Recognized for five minutes for questioning. Thank you. Mr. Chairman. I'm gonna keep it to five minutes. Ms. Doyle you taught you're an immigration attorney

00:08Yes, okay, and you teach immigration law I have in the past. Yes, and you were a legal advisor to ice. I was yes

00:16Question do you support President Trump's policy to designate cartels as terrorist organizations?

00:22I think that bike doesn't it's a yes or no. Do you support President Trump's policy to designate cartels?

00:29Focusing on national security and you support President Trump's policy to designate cartels as terrorist organization

00:37I think it is a yes or no focus on national security. Okay should rapists should illegals who are here

00:44illegally

00:45Who rape American women and girls should they be deported? Yes or no?

00:50Individuals with serious criminal convictions such as that are deported every single day. Oh, no, they're not. What about murderers?

00:56You think murderers should be to murderers are also subject to deportation. Okay, so there is a sanctuary sheriff named Kristen Graziano

01:03Charleston County, South Carolina

01:05Who refused to work with ice refused to work with ice and she was letting criminal illegals out on the street who were raping?

01:12My constituents raping women in Charleston in South Carolina

01:17pedophiles child molesters

01:20Murderers out onto the streets of South Carolina this is happening in bright red, South Carolina the sanctuary sheriff

01:26So they aren't being deported because there are sanctuary mares

01:30You want to quote mayor Wu as being this gift from God about safety?

01:34I mean she was literally like praising or sending her condolences to a knife-wielding

01:40Maniac trying to murder people on the streets of Boston

01:43It's crazy to me and here you have a law degree

01:46You have done advised on

01:49Immigration to ice and you can't even say whether or not you want the cartels to be designated as terrorist organizations

01:56You're hiding behind some little lofty quote about national security, which is not really making a whole lot of sense

02:02one of the things I did want to fact-check some of my colleagues on today is

02:06Is is this idea? It's been said by multiple people

02:11Online in this hearing today that it's not illegal to come here illegally

02:15Well under title 8 it actually is title 8 USC 1325

02:21About the improper entry of an alien it is breaking the law when you enter here illegally

02:27And our witness miss Doyle cited in her opening presentation

02:32the Tenth Amendment that it gives absolute control to states and cities and counties to

02:38Handle the immigration issue it actually it actually doesn't and if I'm shocked as an attorney that you don't know the law

02:45Because it says and under the law and in multiple places, especially in long-standing Supreme Court precedent

02:53But the Tenth Amendment says the power is not delegated to the federal government or reserved for the states

02:57Congress power to regulate immigration primarily stems from article 1 section 8 clause 4 and

03:03That is the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization and under article 1 section 8 clause 3 power to regulate commerce with foreign nations

03:10I'm not even an attorney and I could easily look that up

03:13I think we need to have higher standards for those who are or lawyers and also

03:19Practicing law and teaching law to our students because it's there's a long-standing Supreme Court precedent

03:24Also that's recognized Congress as having plenary

03:27Power over immigration and not actually the state's and plenary means absolute

03:33control

03:34So last year I exposed a sanctuary sheriff who was doing day after day after day months after months

03:40I exposed her for releasing the worst of the worst the most violent those illegals that were committing the worst

03:48Possible crimes I fought to get rid of this sanctuary sheriff

03:52Kristen Graziano when I had documents sent to me by a whistleblower and I ended up in it talking to multiple

03:59Sources about this. I was one of the only elected officials that caught out our sanctuary sheriff in South Carolina Kristen Graziano

04:09No one in statewide elected office not my attorney general Alan Wilson

04:13not my lieutenant governor Pam a vet if you're listening and you're watching you stood by silent as

04:20a sanctuary sheriff let out murderers

04:22Let out rapists

04:24Let out child molesters and pedophiles

04:28Out onto the streets of South Carolina. It was wrong. It was unethical. It was illegal

04:35I had a hundred and forty-five Democrats vote against my bill

04:38the violence against women by illegal aliens act

04:41145 Democrats voted against

04:44deporting

04:45Those who are here illegally the worst of the worst murderers

04:49rapists

04:51Pedophiles, mr. Chairman, I yield back. I did it in record time today the gentlelady yields

04:59Congresswoman Boebert is recognized for five minutes for questioning. Thank you. Mr. Chairman

05:06Mr. Humeer

05:09So we've seen under the Biden administration the failed open border policies

05:14That really fueled and exasperated

05:17exasperated the immigration
