Mr. Speaker:

In every election, somebody wins and somebody loses. Democracy depends on the losing side trusting that the election was a fair and accurate reflection of the will of the majority. And the winning side depends on that same perception for the legitimacy of their office.

Our country has just suffered the largest illegal mass migration in history. Over four years, the Democrats opened our borders and allowed an unvetted and largely impoverished population of nearly eight million to illegally enter our country – a population the size of Washington state. This illegal mass migration has overwhelmed our public schools, public hospitals, homeless shelters, food banks, law enforcement, and is costing American taxpayers $160 billion a year to support. Worst of all, it has introduced into our country the most violent criminal gangs and offenders on the planet. It has also brought to a head the fundamental question of whether any person in the world can break into our country, have a baby at taxpayer expense, have that baby declared an American citizen, and then use that as a pretext to remain.

What is the actual number of layoffs at Yosemite National Park that will bring this beautiful Valley to rack and ruin? Ten. Ten probationary employees. Ten out of nearly 500 full-time winter employees. Twenty-five if you include early retirements. And no fire fighters.

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.
