Speaker Mike Johnson's Maiden Floor Speech

Published | Video Starts at 17:39

Instead of order, they have chosen for us disorder and chaos. Rather than securing the homeland, they've ceded the homeland to cartels and traffickers. By the way, At the Del Rio sector alone at Eagle Pass, Texas, they told us the cartels are...making $3.5 million a day trafficking human beings into the country. Do the math. They're making over a billion dollars a year bringing undocumented children, trafficked children, victims right into the country and bringing them in. They're doing this intentionally. (17:39–17:53)
