                    A NEW RECORD OF BORDER CROSSINGS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, in the midst of all the talking about 
the love affair the Democratic Party has for abortion and talking about 
Ukraine and making another vote there, I am afraid the press isn't 
going to pick up on the numbers that have just been released for border 
crossings of illegal immigrants or people we have not appropriately 
vetted for June of 2022.
  It is a hot month in Mexico and a hot month on the border, so the 
numbers are not as great as the prior month, but compared to past 
Junes, we have once again set a record, and nothing is being done about 
it.
  If you look at two Junes ago, June 2020, a total of about 11,000 
people were allowed in this country.
  Last June, we shot up from 11,000 to 79,000, and this year we are at 
142,000.
  Madam Speaker, that is 142,000 in one month; once again, a record in 
June of the number of people crossing the border, and all this body can 
talk about is Ukraine and abortion. It is time to talk a little bit 
about the future of the country and ask what the Biden administration 
is doing to stop this invasion.
