                      TITLE 42 MUST BE REINSTATED

  (Mr. SMITH of Missouri asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, the administration is removing 
healthcare workers, Federal employees, and members of the Armed Forces

from their jobs if they refuse to get vaccinated. Meanwhile, over 
160,000 unvaccinated and untested illegal aliens crossed our border 
last February, the most on record in two decades.
  Now, Joe Biden and his Washington Democrat allies want to make a bad 
problem worse. Last week, President Biden eliminated President Trump's 
title 42, which allows DHS to deport illegal aliens if they pose a 
public health danger to our citizens. In other words, according to 
Washington Democrats, they believe American healthcare workers, Federal 
employees, and servicemembers deserve harsher treatment than those 
crossing our border illegally.
  This is unacceptable. Title 42 must be reinstated immediately and 
kept in place until this administration comes up with a plan to deal 
with the border crisis created by the administration's policies.
