Sylvia Garcia corners Scott Bessent in a heated House Financial Services Committee clash over immigration, housing costs, ICE spending, and climate risk.
In this exchange, Garcia presses Bessent on his claim that 10–20 million immigrants drove up housing prices, challenges the logic behind it, objects when he calls her “confused,” and forces the conversation into ICE costs and the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s handling of climate-related risks.
Watch the full confrontation and the surrounding context.
