onder: ok.ou know, an example of the absurdity of all right -- all out right birthright citizenship. el chapo's wife traveled to california to give birth, then went back to mexico. under bidens policy, they were then american citizenship -- citizens with every right to obtain an american bank account and then they obtained american bank accounts. did el chapo's children owe full allegiance to the united states? mr. mccotter: they would not, though. their children would have been partially allegiance to their parents home country. sen. onder: so it is in your testimony it is very clear that this idea of full allegiance is pivotal here. mr. mccotter: it was widely understanding -- it was the wide understanding of the jurisdiction clause at the time it was ratified, yes. if i may route -- briefly to the claim, sam of the arguments in this area are inherently racist in some way. i point out in long kim, ferguson, the patron of interpreting the constitution is colorblind. he dissented and said wong h

onder: dangers posed by illegal immigration are many. me the consequences of policies from the biden administration are many and severe. deaths from murder, poisonings from fentanyl, victimization of the innocent by human traffickers, could all have been solved if only the biden-harris administration and the democrat congress were willing to secure our borders. i want to begin by sharing you a case that demonstrates, sadly, the dire consequences of our porous border and weak immigration enforcement. in my district in st. charles county, missouri, two innocent women were sexually assaulted. by an illegal alien of middle eastern descent, who overstayed his tourist visa. yes, an illegal alien. instead of returning home like he was supposed to, as our law ride, he flouted the law and stayed illegally. and ultimately he victimized two innocent american women. the trauma inflicted upon these women and the -- and upon many others like them is immeasurable. if we are to prevent this from happening again, we must remember that the pain is a direc

onder. rep. onder: thank you, chairman wahlberg, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing here today. in the united states today, we are faced with a cruel irony that regarding k-12 education over the last decade, and this trend does go back much further, we have spent more and more on education, public education, and gotten worse and worse outcomes. i spent a decade in the missouri general assembly, eight years of that on the senate education committee. and over and over again, it'sand over and over again, lobbyists for the school administrators, the school board association, the teachers unions came to our committee, and they had one message. give us more money. give us more money. 's and in missouri, and these are national statistics, indeed, we have been giving public education more money. we're up to now about almost $16,000 per student k-12. and at the same time, here are our naep scores, of which the most recent data came last week. these are plummeting. they plummeted worse after covi
