EXCERPT:
GAETZ: “Right now, for the first time in modern history, more people are showing up at the ports of entry than running through some bush in Yuma, Arizona. And the reason they're showing up at the ports of entry is because you've got the turnstile open, or so long as they've gone and downloaded this app, you just let them in. I got one final question for you and it's an important one. Is Mexico an ally in this fight against illegal immigration?”
MAYORKAS: “Yes, it is.”
GAETZ: “So, I mean, it's hilarious and somewhat troubling that you say that. Because like I'm looking at the El Chapo trial, where President Nieto took $100 million bribe from the Sinaloa Cartel. Do you think that the subsequent presidents following Nieto weren't offered a bribe by the cartel or didn't take the bribe?”
MAYORKAS: “Congressman, I -- I disagree with everything you have said.”
GAETZ: “Right, right, but -- but you can disagree all you want, but what you won't provide is any number. And when -- when you sit there and just kind of ostensively disagree without any facts it shows people what the real gig is. The Mexican government is captive to the cartels. They are doing the bidding of the cartels and based on your response today so are you.”
