                      TAKE BORDER CRISIS SERIOUSLY

  (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, what do Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, 
Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North 
Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming have in 
common?
  They all have populations smaller than the number of illegal 
immigrants that have been apprehended at our southern border since the 
Joe Biden administration began. We are talking about 3.1 million 
migrants in 1\1/2\ years. This is, indeed, a national security threat.
  Border Patrol officials encountered more than 207,000 migrants last 
month alone. Six, by the way, were on the terrorist watch list.
  How many more are making their way here right now? How many will 
succeed at slipping through the cracks? How many caravans will it take? 
How many needless deaths will occur under this President?
  Every month, thousands more will come if this administration doesn't 
begin to take this issue seriously. This President must do better.
