                       THE SOUTHERN BORDER CRISIS

  (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, a recent report published by Republicans on 
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tells us exactly how the Biden 
administration is fueling the southern border crisis and how that 
crisis is threatening our national security.
  Border Patrol officials tell us two things drive immigration: 
economic opportunity and perception of U.S. immigration policy. By 
dismantling Trump administration policies, President Biden sent a 
message to millions of people, including transnational criminal 
organizations, that our borders are open.
  There have been 2.6 million migrant encounters since President Biden 
took the oath of office. We see a new record set every month. Still, 
the Biden administration wants to end Title 42 and the remain in Mexico 
policy.
  Additionally, on this President's watch, Border Patrol officials have 
also seized more than 1 million pounds of illegal drugs. Overdose 
deaths in this country are at an all-time high. The President must 
enforce our laws and save American lives.
