                     BRING OUR BORDER UNDER CONTROL

  (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, I, like many Americans, thought when the 
Governors of Texas and Florida began transporting illegal immigrants to 
blue cities or sanctuary cities across the country that change would 
follow. It did not.
  Last October, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, went to 
Mexico to send a message that there was ``no more room in New York.'' 
Even our Nation's largest city cannot sustain more than 100,000 illegal 
immigrants in less than 2 years.
  Yet, the President has continued his open-border policies and his 
unprecedented catch and release operation. He and his administration 
also continue peddling the falsehood that our borders are secure.
  Now, Mayor Adams is reported to have made arrangements to bus 
immigrants back to the border. There is a reason for this. It is not 
racist or anti-immigrant. It is because the President's policy is 
unsustainable. I stand with the many Tennesseans I represent who 
embrace legal immigration but who want to see our border brought under 
control.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
