                              IMMIGRATION

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, today President Biden's 
Department of Homeland Security announced that they did not know the 
location of nearly 40 percent of illegal immigrants who have entered 
our Nation.
  The failed catch-and-release policies that have been championed for 
the past 2 years have led to the chaos and the confusion that has made 
each and every State a border State.
  Since Joe Biden took office, there have been more than 5.5 million 
illegal crossings at our southern border, and now liberal-run cities 
are attempting to use our schools as shelters for illegal immigrants.
  These policies have only worsened the situation, and it is time for 
his administration to return to solutions that will address this 
crisis.
  It is time to reinstate title 42, it is time to stop using our 
schools to house illegal immigrants, and it is time to fully secure our 
border.
