2022 when asked would you agree Chief Ortiz that the southern border is currently in crisis answer yes notice none of those wiggle words none of that equivocation one word one syllable yes are you willing to speak with the same clarity as Chief Ortiz is there a crisis at our Southern border yes or no Senator I'm very proud to work alongside you refused to answer let me ask you the next question has the crisis at our Southern border made Americans less safe yes or no Senator we are dedicated to the safety has the crisis made Americans less safe I don't I don't want a discourse it's a yes or no question Senator we have a challenge of you refuse to answer the question not SEC Mr secretary let me show you how someone doing his job answers a question in a straightforward matter chief Ortiz is the crisis that is currently ongoing at the southern border making the Border less safe for Americans and Aliens alike answer yes one word one syllable three letters that's how someone answers a question and does their job you're being a politician misleading the American people let me give you a chance again will you show the same Integrity Chief Ortiz shows is the crisis at the southern border making Americans less safe yes or no Senator we have 260,000 you refused to answer the question let's move on in security of the next question Mr my orcus has the crisis made aliens less safe yes or no Senator we are seeking so you won't answer that question either it is it's a yes or no has it made aliens less safe Senator Smugglers are exploiting has the crisis made aliens yes less safe are you willing to answer it Senator the smuggling organizations okay you're filibustering again let me ask you this question how many migrants have died under President Biden Senator your your phrasing of the question is actually quite misleading how many migrants died in 2022 um uh at our approaching our Southern border yes precisely why we are seeking to ex this you know the answer do you know how many died I do not you do not of course you don't I know how many died 853 that is 853 and by the way here are the numbers have died every year you go back to 1998 you see it's consistently between 300 400 300 400 3 400 suddenly 2021 what happens you get in office and that red line are dead bodies I've been on the Rio Grand and I've seen dead bodies floating there who' drowned because of your refusal to do your job you don't even know how many have died what do you say to the Texas farmers and ranchers who find pregnant ladies dead on their property who find toddlers dead dead on their property what do you say to them I say that is why precisely we are taking it to the smuggling organizations but you are not that is simply not true number two it is why let let me read from the Wall Street Journal The Wall Street Journal two weeks ago ran an article entitled it's like gra a graveyard record numbers of migrants are dying at the border The Story begins with this chilling Line quote Eagle Pass Texas local officials keep a refriger ated truck to hold the bodies of migrants who drown in the currents of the real grand while trying to cross the border into the US Mr chairman I ask unanimous consent that this article be entered into the record let me ask you a different question how many children have been sexually assaulted by human traffickers under the Biden Administration Senator this is precisely why we instituted I don't want a lecture it's a question how many children have been sexually assaulted by human traffickers under your Administration Senator this is this is exactly why on January 5th we announced par do you know how many do you know how many children have been sexually assaulted this is why we you're going to refuse to answer that question as well let's move on it's obvious you've been instructed to Stonewall so I'm not going to let you you don't get to Stonewall and filibuster now one of my Democratic colleagues before said the Democrat talking point quote this problem didn't start under Biden that's I look I get if you're a partisan spinner you got to figure out something to say about the absolute catastrophe that is played out under the Biden Administration true or false secretary morcus 2020 was the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years is that true or false it is certainly the lowest level of immigration in many many years and what was it in 2020 what was it senator in 2020 that impacted the entire world including the United States okay so your testimony is the reason we had the lowest rate was covid it had nothing to do with building the wall nothing to do with any Catch and Release nothing to do with remain in Mexico with all respect Mr secretary that answer is laughable and in fact if you look at illegal immigration let's look at CBP encounters you can see 500,000 500,000 it drops to the lowest level and boom what happens you show up and that red line is you that red line is Joe Biden and you're claiming nothing happened oh gosh th this was here before us no you made the decision to allow this to happen let me ask you we now have over 5.5 million people who've entered this country illegally under Joe Biden how many murderers Have You released into America Senator I'm not aware of any murderer whom we' into Senator let me say something if you you know if you take a look at no no you don't get to give a speech do you know how many murderers youe I'm just trying to answer your question how many rapist Have You released Senator I'm trying to answer your question you can answer I know or I don't know Senator any individual who poses a public safety threat how many child molesters Have You released and removed into the United St from the United States oh so your testimony under oath subject to perjury is that you have not released any murderers rapist or child molesters among the 5.5 million is that your testimony um Mr chairman may I have the opportunity no you may not you may answer my question you're you're not is that your testimony yes or no Senator you're not allowing me to answer your question I am allowing you to answer I'm not allowing you to Fuster if you take a look at the the pace of immigration in 2018 to 2019 you're refusing to answer let's move on let's move on to Goda ways Goda ways are the people that get away that you know about now what happened under your Administration Goda ways consistently down at this low line boom you get in and they go from below 180,000 to 600 ,000 now I'll tell you this about a gotway you don't know among those 600,000 a year you have no idea how many are murderers correct that is precisely why the number of God do you know how many of those are murderers that is precisely you refuse to answer the question you know how many are rapists do you know how many are rapists this is a question you're a lawyer you know how to answer questions of the 600,000 do you know how many of them were rapists Senator this is why we the answer is no let me ask you this do you know how many of them are terrorists and I don't want a senator here's my lecture on this do you know how many of the 600,000 Goda ways were terrorists yes or no Senator we are focused on the you refuse to answer that as well what's the result of massive Goda ways well one of the results is drug overdoses and we now have last year over a 100,000 overdoses who died the majority from Chinese fentanyl streaming across the border now you told Senator Corin you care but look what has happened under your policy when you open up the border to the worst illegal immigration in our nation's history people die you claim you care Mr secretary that is a lie you know some months ago Karine jeanpierre stood up at a White House briefing and said people are not just walking across the border was she telling the truth Senator you are was she telling the truth so profoundly disrespecting was she telling the truth2 years of government you get to answer questions you don't get to give speeches Senator I served as a federal prosecutor you're refusing to answer if you look at she was lying and she was not lying on her own she was lying on behalf of the president of the United States now uh the photograph people walking she was lying on behalf of the president of the United States this is a photograph from Just One Day along the Rio Grand of hundreds of thousands of people walking across the border you have allowed this to happen the photograph that was before what what are these wristbands I don't know what they are you don't know what they are Mr secretary you've just testified to the American people you're incompetent at your job because I've been to the southern border and if you go to the southern border along the southern border you see thousands of these wristbands because the illegal immigrants wear them the drug cartels every color corresponds to how many thousands of dollars they owe the cartels you have turned these cartels into multi-billion doll criminal organizations and these are modernday leg irons because these are children being sold into sex slavery and you don't even know what they are that is astonishing Mr secretary how many children have been sold into sex slavery under your Administration Senator we are taking it to the cartel how many children have been sold into sex slavery do you know how many children have been sold into sex slavery to an unprecedented degree Mr secretary I want to say to you right now your behavior is disgraceful and the deaths the children assaulted the children raped they are at your feet and if you had Integrity you would resign and I will tell you the men and women of the border patrol they've never had a political leader undermine them they despise you Mr Mr secretary because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders this is a crisis it's a disgrace and you won't even admit this human tragedy is a a crisis claiming one minute chairman time Mr secretary would you like to respond to any of those questions what the senator said was revolting I'm not going to address it your refusal to do your job is revolting
