Opening Statement of Chairman Tom McClintock Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement: Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America

January 22, 2025

Speeches

Our nation has just suffered the largest illegal mass migration in history, deliberately engineered, abetted and encouraged by President Joe Biden and his allies in Congress. For four years the American people have endured the effects of this calculated lawlessness: schools flooded with non-English speaking students, hospitals packed with illegals demanding free health care, Americans pushed out of homeless shelters to make room for illegals, an estimated $150 billion a year taken from struggling American families to pay for free food, free legal services, free transportation, free housing, free clothing, free cell phones for those who have broken into our country. Millions of American workers have been displaced, driving down wages and drying up opportunities for our own young people.

Chairman McClintock Opening Statement Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement

November 20, 2024

Speeches

Today, the subcommittee meets to conduct oversight into the activities of the Office of Refugee Resettlement administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. We welcome HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra to answer questions we have arising from his administration of this Office. I think we would all agree that if a child shows up lost and alone on your doorstep, you have a moral obligation to find out where that child lives and return him safely home. The last thing any decent person would do is to take that child to a strangers house and leave him there. Yet it appears this is exactly what this administration has been doing for the last four years. In just four years, this administration has deliberately allowed 7.6 million illegal aliens to enter the United States, releasing more than 5.7 million illegal aliens into the country while more than 1.9 million known gotaways evaded apprehension -- an illegal population larger than the state of Arizona, our fourteenth largest state.
