             APOLOGIES TO BORDER PATROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, I would like to comment on the recent 
developments regarding those brave Border Patrol officers who used 
their reins to prevent people sneaking into a country illegally, 
prevent them from getting stomped under their horses' hooves.
  I have been to the border several times. Uniformly, all the Border 
Patrol felt those people behaved appropriately, and I think continuous 
studies have shown they behaved appropriately. But sadly, President 
Biden has decided to pick them out for punishment.
  It reminds me when he calls the police of this country racist--both 
completely unfounded. He only does it, I think, to divide our country, 
create divisions here.
  I would demand that President Biden apologize to the brave Border 
Patrol, those great guys or gals who, on that day, prevented the 
Haitians trying to slip into this country from getting stomped 
underfoot.
  I would also like him to apologize to the police of this country who 
are not racist and are doing a great job to try to hold down our murder 
rate.
