                      UNLAWFUL USE OF THE CBP1 APP

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am here today to highlight the important 
work the House is doing in the 118th Congress to hold the Biden 
administration accountable.
  My colleagues are familiar with all we are doing with regard to 
looking at student loan agreements, the abusive pandemic-era policies, 
but today, I want to focus on something the administration is doing at 
the southern border that it has no business doing.
  Their new unlawful use of the CBP1 app is allowing an even greater 
number of people to come across our border. In addition to people, the 
got-aways, in addition to the family units, in addition to the 
unaccompanied minors, we have people using an app to sign up and wind 
up coming into our country.
  In the current fiscal year, in each one of the 9 months, we had for 
that month an all-time record number of people coming here. I think in 
part because of the use of this app, the slumbering press corps is not 
paying attention to that.
  Let me repeat that one more time. In each of the last 9 months, we 
had an all-time high in the number of people coming into the United 
States.
  This is an absolute scandal. I am glad our committee is taking it on, 
and I

hope the press corps pays a little bit more attention to this invasion.
