                  REPUBLICAN IDEAS ON BORDER SECURITY

  (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, the other day, we saw the press secretary 
for President Biden, Jen Psaki. She was complaining and tired of 
Republicans talking about the border and not having any ideas.
  Well, we have ideas. They don't always get publicized. Here are some 
of them right here: enforce our laws; enforce our laws as written; 
complete the border fence and complete all border construction; the 
remain in Mexico policy, why don't we reinstate that? It worked pretty 
well without people rushing the border before.
  Require negative COVID tests before entering our country. Wouldn't 
that be something since we are telling all of our citizens we have to 
do the same to go to a simple thing like a restaurant or a ballpark?
  Maybe we could shut off the green light inviting people and sending 
people the message, incentivizing the dangerous trek to come to 
America.
  Lastly, stop the benefits from hardworking U.S. taxpayers. Stop 
promising amnesty, tax remittances, healthcare, and sanctuary cities to 
illegal immigrants.
  These are the messages Republicans have been conveying all along, so 
I invite Jen Psaki to listen up.
