                       AMERICAN FAMILIES AT RISK

  (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, since Biden took office, 
there have been nearly 5 million crossings of illegal aliens from over 
100 countries, a direct result of his failed policies and those of the 
Democrat-led Congress. Biden and Democrats shamefully support what they 
expect as low-information voters, ignoring the immediate threat of 
terrorists.
  According to Customs and Border Protection, last month was the 10th 
consecutive month of more than 200,000 illegal crossings. Federal 
seizures have also resulted in fentanyl rising over 50 percent from 
November to December 2022, murdering young Americans.
  The House Republican majority will deliver commonsense solutions to 
stop identified terrorists who are threats to American families at 
greater risk of mass murder than ever before.
  House Republicans are holding the government accountable and will not 
stop until the American people are protected with a wall and fences, as 
Donald Trump attempted to achieve.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues, moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
