                        WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS

  (Mrs. MILLER of Illinois asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I had the privilege of 
visiting the border with President Trump in June to see our Border 
Patrol agents doing one of the most dangerous jobs imaginable. They 
face the threat of MS-13 and violent drug cartels who have been 
empowered and enriched by the Biden administration.
  Sadly, the left is vilifying the Border Patrol the same way they 
vilified our police officers during the defund the police movement.
  The American people want secure borders and safe communities. Even 
President Obama this week said Biden's open border policies are 
unsustainable because we are a nation with borders. I want to thank 
President Obama for affirming that we are a nation of laws and a nation 
with borders, and I hope the Biden administration will listen to him.
