00:00You mentioned resources for border security.
00:02In yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on the Alien Animes Act,
00:05the justices unanimously reaffirmed migrants' rights to a hearing before removal.
00:11Should Congress allocate additional funding to the judiciary to address a possible backlog of cases
00:16and to ensure potential deportees get due process?
00:19Well, due process is an important principle, and of course we support that,
00:22and we have to give Customs and Border Patrol agents and everybody involved in the process
00:29the resources they need to get the job done.
00:31It does require additional resources because we have so many people to process
00:34because the last administration opened the border wide, and it's a serious crisis.
00:39And I think that was top of mind for most of the people who voted in this last election.
00:43So we don't know what the specifics are yet.
00:46We do applaud the ruling for the Supreme Court.
00:49The most important principle that came out of that is that they said that you can't go venue shopping for this.
00:54They're going to return that back to the court in Texas where it belonged,
00:56and I think that's a very important step.
00:58The reason that we're passing the No Roe Rulings Act this week is because we're concerned about this,
01:04what really is a constitutional crisis.
01:06And you've heard the stats, but I think it's 62 percent or 64 percent of all the injunctions,
01:13national injunctions that are issued against a president or against Donald J. Trump over the last several decades,
01:19and 90 percent of those or something were issued by judges that were appointed to the federal bench by Democrat presidents.
01:26I mean, it just looks on its face to be a serious issue, and Congress has to address it.
01:32And so Congressman Darrell Issa's bill is a really good measure to take some control in that area,
01:37and we're looking forward to that development.
