Well, we want to thank all of you for being here today. There are few political issues

that energize Republicans like the southern border of the United States.

I want to thank all my colleagues for joining me here in the epicent. of the

the crisis that we're having on the border here in the epicenter of the crisis that we're having on the border here in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson toured the border with a group of fellow Republicans earlier this month.

A record 2.5 million migrants arrived at the border last year.

The man Republicans hold responsible?

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Here was Republican Clay Higgins of Louisiana.

You've brought generational trauma upon our country. I believe history will witness your era of service as a transitional

time in our country. What was America like before Secretary Mayorcus and what was America

like after him? At a House Homeland Security Committee hearing last April, Higgins attacked Mayorkas's handling of the border.

It's stunning that you could sit there and smugly grin as if you've not miserably failed your country.

We're done, done, done with your lives to America.

There have been lots of fiery moments between Republicans and Mayorkus.

Here's Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia asking Mayorkus about the impact of

fentanyl coming across the border.

How long are you going to continue this outrage, complete outrage, where China is poisoning

America's children, poisoning our teenagers, poisoning our young people.

How long are you going to let this go on?

Congresswoman, let me assure you that we're not letting it go on.

We are fighting this.
