                          TERRORIST WATCH LIST

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, last week Customs and Border Protection 
released their monthly report detailing how bad President Biden's 
border crisis has become.
  The numbers are quite startling. In March alone, CBP confirmed 
221,303 migrant encounters at our southern border. This number is up a 
whopping 33 percent from February and an incredible 542 percent since 
2020.
  Making matters worse, the numbers show that 42 people on the 
terrorist watch list tried to enter our country illegally since 
President Biden took office. Thankfully, due to the hard work and 
diligence of law enforcement officers on the southern border, they were 
arrested.
  Although this begs the question: If we found 42 people on the 
terrorist watch list since January of 2021, how many more are in our 
country today out of the more than 200,000 illegal immigrants whom we 
know evaded law enforcement?
  Unfortunately, we will probably never know until it is too late. 
Thanks to President Biden's open border policies, Americans must come 
to terms with the fact that until Republicans regain control of 
Congress and the White House, potential terrorists continuing to file 
through our borders is just a way of life.
