                     CRISIS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, every day the American people wake up to 
more concerning news at the southern border, and they are beyond 
outraged. Thousands of illegal immigrants continue to overwhelm ports 
of entry, the flood of illicit narcotics continues to skyrocket, and 
yet, this administration refuses to act.
  Over 1.2 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the 
southern border since February of this year, and in August, President 
Biden released close to 44,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S.
  Madam Speaker, this is yet another failure that President Biden can 
add to his growing list. If this administration does not act with a 
sense of urgency, America's communities are in danger. It is time for 
action.
