                   THE CRISIS AT THE BORDER CONTINUES

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, a week after my visit to the border to meet 
with agents on the ground and survey the situation with my own eyes, I 
am here to report some unsurprising news. There is still a growing 
crisis at our Nation's southern border.
  I saw firsthand how President Biden has ceded--not in farming, but 
given up--ceded control of the southern border to the cartels.
  Thankfully, Texas Governor Abbott has stepped up to enforce the law, 
but Federal border agents continue to lack critical federally provided 
resources.
  From halting construction of the wall and resisting the remain in 
Mexico policy, to releasing illegals into our interior and pursuing 
mass amnesty, this President and Democrats in Congress have 
incentivized a long-term border surge that will forever change our 
Nation.
  I urge my colleagues to reverse these America-last policies, secure 
the border, and uphold law and order in the face of this current 
administration's refusal to do so.
