                              RISING CRIME

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, 234,088 illegal immigrants crossed the 
southern border last month. That is a record-breaking number that I 
take no pleasure in saying aloud. This surpassed the previous record of 
221,303 set just in March.
  In President Biden's first 15 months in office, Federal law 
enforcement officials have stopped more than 2.75 million people 
attempting to cross into the U.S. illegally. To put things in 
perspective, that is more than the entire population of the Nashville, 
Tennessee, metropolitan area.
  Despite continuously breaking these records, the President has shown 
absolutely no serious desire to stem the flow of illegal immigration, 
as evidenced by his rescission of title 42 and his stopping of 
construction on the border wall.
  Madam Speaker, President Biden must do better.
