WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) fact-checked the media and liberal Democrats’ hysteria over the Trump administration’s efforts to secure the homeland by reversing the Biden administration’s reckless border policies and deporting criminal migrants here illegally. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

“There’s been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the mainstream media about President Trump’s commonsense immigration enforcement agenda.” 

“This isn’t rocket science. This isn’t partisan warfare.”

“In order to keep the American people safe, we need to keep criminals and gangs off our streets, and that’s exactly what the Trump administration is doing.”

“Of these arrests that have been made under Secretary Noem, nearly half of them have been convicted criminals… one third of them have pending criminal charges.”

“I can’t imagine anyone would be anything except relieved that the Trump administration has prioritized removing these gang members from our country.”

“Refusing to arrest and lock up criminals who never should have been in the country in the first place will go down in history as one of the biggest mistakes the Biden administration and Democrats have ever made.”

“The Trump administration by contrast… is part of the solution, not part of the problem.”
