                     ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SCHOOLS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, President Biden's and Secretary Mayorkas' 
handling of our southern border has made every State, including my home 
State of Tennessee, a border State. Now, illegal immigrants are being 
housed in public schools, threatening our children's ability to learn.
  House Republicans are denouncing this heinous action by passing H. 
Res. 461, which condemns the use of public school facilities to house 
illegal immigrants.
  Housing illegal immigrants at public schools diverts resources from 
students already suffering from historic learning loss. Additionally, 
schools with summer programs or activities will now be forced to 
consider the additional security threat housing illegal immigrants at 
their facilities poses.
  Mr. Speaker, if the Biden administration would work with Republicans 
to secure the border, this wouldn't be happening. However, since it is, 
we must condemn it, which is why I urge Members to join me in 
supporting H. Res. 461.
