Molly, from the same state, but the other side of the aisle, we're now joined by a California Republican congressman, a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees, Darryl Issa. Congressman, welcome.

Mike, I was thrilled to go second in this case because my Democratic colleagues said one thing that was accurate, which is Democrats have to join the enforcement effort because it's their president who, in fact, deliberately reverse policies in order to welcome in the arsonists that now are burned down the house, speaking metaphorically. The reality is that it was a policy change that did this. It's a policy change that turns it back around. That negotiation in the Senate, I just want to speak to it because my colleague alluded that it was good but not perfect. No, it was imperfect and flawed from the beginning. The idea that 1.5 million people would be the additional illegals coming in as the so-called cap of 5,000 a day is ridiculous. The fact is, the President, since the 1950s, has had the authority to cease bringing in people that are claiming asylum, mostly falsely, at any time for a national security basis. We have decades worth of backlogs, seven to nine million people right now who will be decades before they could even be adjudicated. The list of just 1.5 million goes out for years, and they haven't even given dates to people beyond that.

So the idea that you need more people to greet and bring people in at the border goes back to the same problem. No, we need Border Patrol to be able to do their job, which is to stop people from coming in. Right now, they have an open border by policy. They need to close the border by policy. The President has the authority to do so. I look forward to his State of the Union. I do not expect him to say, Yes, I'm going to close the border, an authority I've always had. I'm going to reverse the policies of three years that have brought in seven plus million people that are not going home anytime soon, that we're not vetted, that, in fact, are displacing the people standing in line waiting to get into this country legally.

We saw President Biden at the Texas border this week. Texas Governor Greg Abbott mocked the location he chose, saying he picked some sanitized location in Brownsville, Texas, didn't see the full impact. Southern California has really heated up in terms of the migrant crisis. What's the impact on your district? And should the President visit Southern California and Arizona to get a full picture?

He You should visit the 40,000 square foot fentanyl locker that just services a portion of the border, my 100 or so miles of the Mexican border in my district, and realize the amount of killing drugs, drugs that killed over 100,000 people last year that are coming in because of his open policy. You can't have an open border and then try to protect against drugs. You can't have an open border and try to protect against gangs and criminals coming in. The reality is we can do immigration reform. We can take the 1.3 or 1.4 million legal immigrants every year. We could raise it to 1.5. What we can't do is have millions of people every year come in unvetted without exactly what happened in Georgia and around the country, which is these people include a large amount of people who are fleeing where they were criminals to be criminals here. It includes the MS-13. It includes all of that. And by the way, it includes the drugs and the drug smugglers that are killing people. And by the way, the idea that it's climate change. Climate change may be coming, but these people are coming for jobs.

They don't even pretend anymore to be coming for asylum. When I've interviewed people in Chinese, in Russian, in Portuguese, in Spanish, through the translator that I hold up, the reality is they all say they're coming here for jobs. They know what cities they're going to, and they have a general idea of what jobs they're going to do. I appreciate people coming for a better life, but it should It's be orderly and legal, and it's not. That is the President and the President alone who can change that. No law is going to change a President who doesn't enforce the law. That's what we need to change. That's what you're going to hear us say Monday night, Which is we need to have border enforcement. We don't have it now, and the President has muted the Border Patrol. That Senate bill would only have essentially legalized and maybe capped at one and a half million. We're not prepared to bring in one and a half million unfiltered people every year. My colleague in Sacramento was a long way from the border. But the fact is, the President's policies mean there is no border. As a result, my district isn't suffering that much more than other districts.

The reality is all of America is suffering from it, and they're suffering from it because the President planned to do it, and he planned to do it because it changes the demographics for elections in this country. I believe wholeheartedly that is his reason.

Issa, the great state of California. Thanks so much for your time today.
