'A Complete Abomination Of A Ruling!': Chip Roy Unloads On SCOTUS Over Birthright Citizenship Ruling

[0:00] Mr. Redmond, thank you for your service in law enforcement. [0:02] Ms. Gorman, Mr. Abraham, sorry for your loss. [0:06] I've gotten to know all too often too many angel families, too many people in my home state of Texas who have lost loved ones [0:11] due to the absolute abject failure of leaders in both parties, to be very clear, [0:17] but I'll be a little partisan here, and very specifically the previous administration in particular, [0:22] and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and their absolute refusal to secure the border. [0:25] And Ms. Gorman, it struck me that you noted that we had this poster, [0:30] and it alluded to the extent to which the federal government in particular, [0:36] and law enforcement in this country, failed you and failed your daughter, more importantly, [0:41] at multiple levels across the board. [0:44] And I think that's really important, especially in light of the questioning we just heard from the ranking member [0:48] of the full committee with Ms. Pierce, who's appearing for us here today. [0:52] Ms. Pierce, now you've worked previously for USCIS in the previous administration, is that correct? [0:59] During both the previous administration and this administration, yes. [1:01] And you have been testifying here at the questioning about the resources and the lack of resources [1:07] for local law enforcement and grants not being given out, but then dollars that have been set aside for ICE. [1:13] The question here is, how much taxpayer funds should have to be spent right now? [1:19] How many taxpayer dollars, current American taxpayers, should have to be spent to go round up illegal aliens? [1:26] I think, unfortunately, the better question is how that money should be spent, not how much. [1:32] Wait a minute. No, no. [1:33] I actually think it matters how much. [1:36] Because, with all due respect, Ms. Pierce, you were working under the previous administration, [1:40] if I remember correctly, with safe mobility offices. [1:43] Safe mobility offices. [1:44] Now, these were offices that were directed and designated towards helping people move through our security system [1:51] to get to the United States, to end-run the processes along the way, [1:56] to exploit asylum laws, to exploit parole laws, in order to funnel people into the United States. [2:02] That was precisely what was happening in the previous administration. [2:05] We know this to be true. [2:07] And then to sit here and listen to this exchange about what we're doing with our resources [2:13] really strikes me as pretty hypocritical, [2:17] given the extent to which we have dangerous people in the United States [2:20] that have been killing innocent Americans, [2:21] because the previous administration and the people who worked for it [2:24] were working directly, specifically, to end-run the laws of the United States, [2:30] putting the dangerous people on the streets [2:32] that resulted in the death of Ms. Gorman's daughter and Mr. Abraham's family. [2:36] I've gotten to know Jocelyn Nungere as a dear friend, [2:41] or her mother, Alexis Nungere, as a dear friend for the loss of her daughter, Jocelyn. [2:48] We're well-advised of Lake and Riley. [2:49] We're well-advised of those who have lost love with Kayla Hamilton and many others. [2:53] And we're hearing more here. [2:55] And you're right, Ms. Gorman, we can't have enough. [2:58] We can keep having hearings and keep allowing these people to put the pictures up [3:01] of the people who have been murdered [3:03] because we allowed our borders to be used as some sort of plaything. [3:08] And now today, the United States Supreme Court manufacturing out of thin air [3:14] a complete abomination of a ruling by the Chief Justice [3:19] suggesting that you can simply become a citizen from being born on dirt, [3:24] thereby validating the abhorrent practice of baby factories [3:29] and moving people here to be born to be able to become a citizen, [3:33] leaving us under no choice but to do what we must do to say, [3:38] pause immigration. Just stop it. Stop all immigration. [3:42] Because if it's going to be exploited for people to come here when they're pregnant, [3:45] people to allow somebody who's working for the Chinese Communist Party [3:49] and to come here and have children to become American citizens [3:52] and then have our laws exploited like they were under the previous administration. [3:58] It is why this Congress should act to pause all immigration. [4:01] This Congress should act immediately to codify what the President has been doing [4:05] to close the loopholes under asylum and parole, the catch-and-release policies, [4:12] and to codify those that a future Biden and Mayorkas administration [4:15] cannot do to the American people what these radical leftists did to the American people, [4:22] and then dare sit here and testify under questioning by my colleagues [4:26] that we need to have more taxpayer money going to the local jurisdictions [4:31] to make up for what they caused, and then criticize the administration in this Congress [4:36] for putting money aside for ICE and Border Patrol to do the job that administration wouldn't do. [4:43] And by the way, get that funding by having to figure out how to use reconciliation to do it [4:49] because Democrats refuse to appropriate money to secure our communities [4:53] and to make sure that our people would not be murdered. [4:56] It's the absolute chutzpah to be here testifying, having had a hand in South America [5:03] working to end-run our laws and put people into the United States [5:07] that resulted in the deaths of the American people. [5:10] I yield back. [5:11] Cameron goes back, Mr. Nadler.
