WASHINGTON – Today on Fox News’ The Story with Martha MacCallum, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed the Biden-Harris administration’s decision to sell unused border wall materials and President-Elect Trump’s plan to deport criminals who are here illegally. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

On the Biden-Harris Administration’s Border Wall Auction:

“It’s outrageous, of course. And it seems like the Biden administration not only is determined to destroy our country by opening our borders to anybody and everybody who wants to come across, but positively make it easier for them to get here.”

“I think we’re going to be paying the price for decades to come from this uncontrolled border policy of the previous administration.”

“I’m looking forward to January 20, when President Trump begins to enforce the laws that are already in place that Joe Biden refuses to enforce.”

On President-Elect Trump’s Deportation Plan:

“Catch-and-release is the basic policy flaw of the Biden administration, because if you release people into the interior of the country, they’re going to just keep coming. More will keep coming because they know they’ll be able to successfully get into the United States and be able to stay.”

“Detaining is really important and, of course, the Biden administration has reduced the capacity of our ability to detain individuals dramatically.”

“Because of President Trump’s threat of mass deportation, it’s already deterred migrants from coming to the United States in the first place.”

“So this isn’t just about enforcing the law, about catching and detaining people—this is about consequences, and it’s beginning to work.”
