                         IMMIGRATION SOLUTIONS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, with a great deal of consternation I 
rise in opposition to the opposition.
  H. Res. 1065, here we go again. Rather than solutions, the 
Republicans are denouncing the Biden administration's immigration 
policy.
  What do they have to offer?
  This is an outrage.
  I thought it was extremely important to make sure that I put my 
statement in the Record about a President who is putting forward 
solutions by putting forward a supplemental almost 1 year ago that 
would have provided more resources to our southern border where I live, 
more resources in terms of dealing with asylum, more Border Patrol, 
more Customs and Border Protection, more courts, and more lawyers to be 
able to address what the American people want to be addressed.
  Nonetheless, what do we spend our time doing on the floor of the 
House?
  Condemning, not solving, and not finding a solution for our DACA 
young people who are doctors, lawyers, teachers, and others, EMS 
supporters, if you will, or workers.
  All we are doing led by the Republican majority, is condemn, condemn, 
and condemn.
  I want solutions. As the second in seniority member of the Homeland 
Security Committee, we are going to continue to work on the positive 
solutions of Joe Biden, President of the United States. He has 
solutions to be able to bring us all together to have comprehensive 
immigration reform.
  Let's work with the President of the United States. Stop denouncing. 
Do your job.
