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.
