John Cornyn Previews Senate Hearing On Biden Administration's Immigration And Parole Policies

Published | Video Starts at 00:32

While I salute, and we should all salute, the bravery of those who risk their lives to keep us safe, we can't ignore the reality that this woman was yet another unnecessary victim of President Biden's careless immigration policies. The man who committed this heinous crime was an Afghan national who President Biden allowed to enter the United States without proper vetting after our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. He did this via a procedure known as parole, which I'll explain more about in a minute. But this was not in accordance with any law or any visa recognized by Congress or passed through a legislative act. (00:32–00:47)
