                     GREEN-LIGHTING A BORDER CRISIS

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, after good results and success in recent 
years of defending and controlling our border, the Biden administration 
has turned on the green light that is seen all the way to Central 
America for immigrating here illegally, giving us the Biden border 
crisis.
  It is not a matter of asylum, as asylum can be sought in Mexico. 
Continuing the trek to the U.S. border shows it is really about 
employment and economics.
  Meanwhile, as our citizens struggle with unemployment and the 
shutdowns from COVID, the Biden border crisis has subjected border 
States, like my State of California, to COVID outbreak risks from those 
bypassing our laws.
  This begs the question: Whose side is the Biden administration on, 
America's unemployed and COVID high-risk vulnerable or foreign 
interests for politics?
  Indeed, it doesn't seem like they are on the side of Americans, and 
we are given, after less than 2 months, the Biden border crisis.
