                    DISASTER AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to educate my colleagues and the 
public one more time as to what sort of disaster we are soon to have on 
the southern border.
  Recently, we have had frequently 90,000 to 100,000 people cross the 
border every month. People of whom we know little. People are skipping 
to the head of the line over people who want to come here legally, 
people that come from countries that are hostile to us.
  But as bad as it is to have 80,000 to 100,000 people come across, the 
Biden administration is claiming that within the next month and a half 
they will remove title 42, opening up the border to perhaps another 
200,000 or 300,000 or 400,000 people a month above what we are already 
getting here.
  I personally think they are doing this because the Ukraine war is 
going on, and they think they can really land a death blow to the 
future of this country by opening up the border to people all over the 
world.
  I call upon American citizens and my colleagues to not forget about 
what is going on at the border. I call upon the press to treat this 
story with the gravity it should be given and to report on all the 
people who are going to come here in the second half of May.
  We cannot have 400,000 people a month coming across the border.
