"After months of ignoring the fact there even was a crisis, we now see an effort [by Democrats] to shift the blame and distract from the border security and humanitarian crisis. . . .

What we need today is to let that truth bring us confidence and closure."

"Marketplaces must aggressively protect U.S. consumers and IP rights holders from sellers who seek to trick consumers into buying counterfeits. Marketplaces must have effective policies and practices to detect and block the sale of counterfeits automatically, immediately respond to complaints by consumers and brands, quickly remove counterfeiters from their sites and detect and prohibit confirmed counterfeiters from returning under another name."
