                       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, the irresponsible policies 
of Biden have caused the most threatening border crisis in American 
history.
  This illegal alien invasion exposes families to potential terrorists, 
human trafficking, and dangerous drugs.
  Since Biden took office in January 2021, there have been over 5.2 
million illegal crossings. Mr. Speaker, 10,300 illegal aliens came over 
the border on May 9 this year, the highest ever.
  Gruesomely, another 1.5 million illegal aliens have crossed without 
being detained. That includes over 200 on the terrorist watch list, 
putting every American family everywhere at risk of mass murder.
  Drug cartels are destabilizing Mexico and killing over 107,000 
Americans annually, mostly due to fentanyl.
  I am grateful House Republicans, led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, have 
passed the Secure the Border Act, stopping illegal aliens.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues, moving 
from the safe haven of Afghanistan to America with open Biden borders.
