Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods Act of 2022

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I am a freshman, and the whole time I have been here I have been talking about crime and the rise in crime and how the Republican Party has supported the police.

Down South, we use a lot of common sense sometimes to solve issues, and the biggest issue we have right now in the country is the border. So what happens is that the drugs and the human trafficking follow through and goes to these cities. That is why we are seeing a rise in fentanyl.

One of the things I have observed is they use backpacks for the heroin and cocaine and fentanyl to pay their passage to the drug cartel.

So now the Democrats are panicked because we have an open border. We also have a rise in crime. It is just curious to me that now, all of sudden, we want to address these issues.

If you just look at the record across the country, Republican cities seem to manage crime so much better. So I don't think that more money is always a solution. Very often it is more management and local control.

I encourage a ``no'' on this, and I am honored to speak on this.
