WASHINGTON, D. C.—Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) spoke on the House Floor outlining his work to secure the border, condemning President Biden’s open-border policies, and calling for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Full remarks as prepared can be found below:
President Biden’s open-border policies have rolled out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants, drug traffickers, terrorists, and foreign nationals with ties to China.
Under his watch, 302,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended at our border in December – the highest number ever recorded – which means that roughly 10,000 illegal immigrants are crossing our border every day.
The chaos and lawlessness must end.
That’s why I voted for the Secure the Border Act to finish the wall and fully fund our border patrol agents.
That’s why I introduced Sarah’s Law – in honor of 21-year-old Sarah Root who was killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving while drunk – to detain and prosecute illegal immigrants who seriously injure or kill American citizens.
That’s why I introduced legislation to seize money from the drug cartels so that we can finish the border wall and keep deadly fentanyl out of rural communities.
On my 36 County Tour, I have heard from countless Iowans who want to secure the border and keep our communities safe.
So do I.
I promise that I will continue to hold President Biden accountable for his open-border policies and vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas for his dereliction of duty.
The American people deserve nothing less.
