                       AMERICANS NEED TO WAKE UP

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, America has to realize we are on the 
precipice of making one of the most significant precedential 
determinations in recent memory, and that is the removal of Title 42 
affecting American immigration law.
  Already we are allowing--depending on the month--between 80,000 and 
100,000 people to cross our border who are not appropriately vetted.
  However, due to a title put in effect by President Trump, we are 
keeping another perhaps 400,000 people a month--we are told 18,000 a 
day--south of the border out of concern that they will bring the virus 
in this country.
  If this title is removed, we will go--according to current 
estimates--to 18,000 people a day: a half a million people a month 
coming in this country. That is an intolerable amount. They are people 
we cannot support. They are people who have not been appropriately 
vetted. And, obviously, there will be a massive increase in illegal 
drugs crossing our southern border.
  I beg the American public to wake up and do what you can to make it 
clear

to everybody in this body that we do not need a massive increase over 
the already intolerable 80,000 to 90,000 people who are coming here 
every month unvetted.
