attorney's offices, and I hope we will.

Yeah, I mean, I would call a lot of those folks former Democrats, frankly, people in South Texas who have been looking at this going, gosh, I mean, that was ridiculous what we were dealing with, the danger, the fentanyl, the cartels, the criminal activity, the fact that our hospitals and jails were all filled up.

Now they see what can happen when you just simply enforce the law.

But the point that I made, I literally just made it 15 minutes ago sitting in front of my Republican colleagues in our meeting.

I said, remember that the president had basically secured the border in 2020.

It wasn't quite as tight as it is now, but it was pretty tight.

And guess what happened?

He got blown to hell in a matter of months under Biden and Mayorkas.

We, Congress, must codify the president's agenda, the president's, you know, actions that he's taken as president on the border and pass what we passed last Congress.

Remember we passed H.R.

2, that strong border security bill?

We have not passed that again.

We need to pass it, send it to the Senate.

We need to force them to act.

If we don't codify this stuff, then the next Democrat president will abuse it again.

So it's great to answer your question.

Texas is in a lot better spot.

But look, we still have a lot of people we still need to remove.

ICE is doing a good job, but we've got to go out and find the folks that have been violating our laws, the people that were wrongly paroled and granted asylum.

And then we need to pass laws to codify these things to make sure it doesn't happen again.
