                        BORDER CRISIS IN SCHOOLS

  (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 Biden 
open border crisis has turned every State into a border State, and 
every house is at risk of intrusion.
  The failure to lawfully secure the border by Biden and liberal 
Democrats encourages surges in illegal alien crossings, exposing 
families to terrorists, human trafficking, and dangerous drugs.
  The incredibly successful movie ``Sound of Freedom'' is exposing 
human trafficking of children in America.
  Since Biden took office, over 5.2 million illegal aliens have crossed 
the southern border, and 1.5 million aliens have evaded apprehension.
  As an overflow factor, illegal aliens are now being housed in 
schools. Schools should be focused on helping students recover from 
devastating COVID-era learning loss.
  House Republicans are committed to securing the border and to 
providing for rule of law. One effort is the Schools Not Shelters Act, 
which prohibits the use of schools to provide shelter for 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 Afghanistan safe haven to America with open Biden borders 
admitting terrorists.
