OPEN BORDER IS A NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last week, Vice
President Harris bizarrely said the southern border is secure. The
reality is more threatening and absurd.
Since Biden took office, over 3 million illegal aliens have crossed.
In August alone, there were over 200,000 illegal alien encounters. This
is three times the illegal crossings compared to
[[Page H8022]]
the last August when Donald Trump was President.
Dangerously, there are 66 trained murderers from the terrorist watch
list that have crossed. Separately, half a million illegal aliens have
invaded in the last year, admitted the Department of Homeland Security.
Biden and the Democrats are responsible for a national security
crisis due to the open border, with American families at a greater risk
of murderous attacks than ever before.
In conclusion, we will not forget 9/11. God bless our troops who
successfully protected America for 20 years as the global war on
terrorism continues, moving from a safe haven in Afghanistan to
America. God bless Ukrainian victory.
