                      BIDEN SOUTHERN BORDER 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. Mr. Speaker, Biden and Democrats have 
failed to secure the southern border. Since Biden took office, over 1 
million illegal aliens have evaded apprehension, including 60,000 in 
October.
  Among the 4 million who have illegally crossed the border since Biden 
are professional mass murderers on the terrorist screening database. 
American families are at greater risk than ever of mass murder, which 
is why voters elected a Republican House majority to fight for 
effective border enforcement.
  As the co-chair of the French-American Caucus and of French heritage 
myself, I was grateful yesterday to have been present with President 
Emmanuel Macron at the Library of Congress.
  South Carolina appreciates both the Marquis de Lafayette, who landed 
at Georgetown in 1777 to support the American Revolution, with his 
portrait here in the Chamber, and Michelin Tire Corporation, whose 
Lexington groundbreaking I attended this week in 1979, now the largest 
Michelin manufacturing facility in the world.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism, sadly which 
continues, now moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
