On 6/4/2024, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Congressman Michael Guest (R-Miss.), and Congressman Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.) to discuss Dems border policies. House Democrats voted against legislation on the House Floor last month to deport illegal immigrants who have assaulted police officers. Leader Scalise also slammed President Biden’s planned executive action on the border to still allow thousands of illegal immigrants to enter the country as a political stunt designed to cover for his self-created crisis.
Conference Chair Elise Stefanik said
This week, on the Floor, House Republicans will deliver for our veterans and continue our steadfast support for our most precious ally, Israel. At every opportunity, Joe Biden has turned his back on Israel, most recently refusing to sanction the International Criminal Court following their politically motivated targeting of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. The ICC must be immediately sanctioned. That is why today, House Republicans will bring Chip Roy’s bill, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, to the House Floor to ensure needed guardrails to protect Israel and all our allies from baseless, undemocratic attacks by the international bureaucrats of this illegitimate court.
Steve Scalise said,
“I know my colleague [Rep.] Juan Ciscomani talked about the open southern border. And we’ve all been talking about the perils of Joe Biden’s policies as today he tries to throw out another fig leaf to try to distract people from the failures of his own policies. I think most people in America now know Joe Biden with a pen could fix the problems that he created and he chooses not to, he doesn’t want to fix the problem. In fact, he actively opposed the bill that we passed through this house, H.R. 2, that would have actually secured America’s border. He wants it to be open.
“But you just saw a couple of days ago yet another glaring example of the failures of the Biden open border policy, and that’s when two more New York Police Department officers were shot by someone here in this country illegally. How many times is Joe Biden going to allow this kind of criminal activity in the United States by people here illegally – that he’s let in the door to injure cops, to kill people like Laken Riley – before he actually works with Republicans to do something about it?
“Because ultimately, the voters will have a say on November 5th, and all of these issues. But if you look at the bill we brought forward just a few weeks ago, imagine this, we had a bill on the House floor that said any illegal who assaults a police officer in the United States of America is immediately deported. Do you know that almost 70% of Democrats voted against that bill? And then just a few days ago, two NYPD cops are shot by someone here illegally, and they don’t want that illegal criminal to be deported. It’s unbelievable how far left their party has gone. It’s unrecognizable to most people in America, but again, that’s what’s at stake on November 5th.”
“And then of course, the ICC bill, the rogue radical actions of the International Criminal Court going after Prime Minister Netanyahu with no justification. We’re going to be pushing back on that, initially, the White House was supporting that effort, and now they’ve walked away because their radical-left in their own party does not any longer support the Jewish state of Israel. But we surely do. And we’re going to be standing up for Israel and against radical actions like the ICC this week as well.”
