00:00Thank you so much.
00:03It's my pleasure to be here tonight, appreciate my colleagues who are also members of the
00:09Border Security Caucus.
00:11For four years, we've stood here and exposed the open border policies of the Biden-Harris
00:16administration.
00:17For four years, we've seen what happens when the America First border security policies
00:21that President Trump had put in place were thrown out.
00:24And in just over one month, we've seen what happens when those policies are put back in
00:28place.
00:29Since President Trump took office, ICE agents have arrested more than 20,000 illegal aliens.
00:38That's just in one month.
00:40By comparison, Joe Biden only had 33,000 at-large arrests for the entire year of 2024.
00:47And when Joe Biden was in charge, over 300,000 illegal aliens crossed the border in just
00:53one month.
00:54In President Trump's first month, illegal crossings did not even reach 10,000.
00:58The actual number was 8,400.
01:01And whereas Biden let all of those people into the country without proper vetting, some
01:05of which were known criminals and terrorists that we're now trying to find, under President
01:10Trump, people who illegally crossed the border are stopped and immediately detained or removed.
01:16Because of President Biden's catch-and-release policies, every state had the pathologies
01:21of a border state.
01:24Because of this, immediately after taking office, President Trump charged ICE officers
01:28with cleaning up streets across the country by detaining the illegal aliens that Joe Biden
01:33had released into the country.
01:35And while they were attempting to prosecute him, President Trump, for bogus charges in
01:39multiple jurisdictions, the Biden regime was releasing actual criminals into every city
01:45in America.
01:47Tonight, we're going to be exposing the Biden-Harris administration's open border policies and
01:52President Trump's work to remove them.
01:55We'll highlight the tireless work of ICE agents tasked with arresting some of the worst
01:59individuals who have invaded our country, despite being demonized by the mainstream
02:04media and organized campaigns to interfere with and prevent arrests, including by exposing
02:09personal information of agents.
02:12In just one month, those agents have taken thousands of violent and malevolent offenders
02:16off of our streets.
02:18In just one month, President Trump has put an end to the endless invasion of our communities
02:23by illegal aliens.
02:25It's my pleasure now to yield to my co-chairman of the Border Security Caucus three minutes
02:33to the gentleman, Mr. Babin.
