                       BIDEN'S IMMIGRATION POLICY

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, the Biden immigration policy has been 
well-documented. We have gone from about 20,000 people a month being 
let in the country to 90,000.
  Between 2019 and 2021, the number of people kicked out of the country 
has fallen over 80 percent. What will the result be? More people on 
welfare, more crime, more drugs--particularly fentanyl--more people 
untested for COVID.
  But there is something else--because apparently that doesn't bother 
the Biden administration--they ought to think about: You appear weak. 
You may not care, but believe me, all normal people around the world, 
when they see we are not enforcing immigration laws, they say we have a 
weak President. And when countries like Russia or China and North Korea 
and Iran size up the United States, they look at your border policy and 
say, we are dealing with a weak person.
  And all these decisions, which are very difficult decisions to be 
made with all these countries, are going to be that much more difficult 
to make because you, Mr. President, are defining weakness in your 
immigration policy. That is the price that you will pay.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their 
remarks to the Chair and not to a perceived viewing audience.
