CONDEMNING USE OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HOUSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
(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, since President Biden took office, there have
been 5.2 million illegal crossings of our southern border.
Now, because of President Biden and his administration's failures to
secure our southern border, our schools and children are suffering from
the effects of rampant open borders.
When taxpayer-funded facilities in New York were used to house
illegal immigrants, President Biden was silent. Even when the mayor of
New York City said: ``The President and the White House have failed
this city,'' President Biden was silent.
Well, House Republicans won't remain quiet.
[[Page H3114]]
We denounced this wasteful abuse of our schools by passing H. Res.
461, which condemned the use of public schools and facilities to house
illegal immigrants. We sent a clear and direct message to the American
people and the President that this should never be allowed.
