                   ADMINISTRATION MUST SECURE BORDER

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Mr. Speaker, every day, we see more and more illegal 
crossings at the southern border. March was the worst month yet, with 
over 221,000 migrant encounters.
  Instead of securing our border and empowering law enforcement, this 
administration continues to make this crisis worse every day.
  I am a proud immigrant and first-generation American. I came here 
legally. There are 4.4 million people waiting their turn to legally 
come to the greatest country in the whole world. Meanwhile, this 
administration continues to allow millions of illegal migrants to take 
advantage of our weak border policies.
  We are a nation of laws, and enough is enough. The administration 
must stop the flow of drugs and crime into our country and secure the 
border to protect our citizens.
