                           IMMIGRATION REFORM

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, we need an immigration system that is 
safe, orderly, and fair. We have real challenges at the southern 
border. I have been there, and I have seen it.
  There must be a fair process for those looking to come legally, and 
anyone who poses a danger to our country should be removed. The 
American people are counting on Congress to act.
  Unfortunately, House Republicans prefer a problem to talk about 
rather than working together on a solution.
  Last year, President Biden requested $14 billion in funding for the 
border, including 1,300 new Border Patrol agents,

and the Senate came up with a bipartisan plan to secure the border and 
reform our immigration system. House Republicans refuse to even call a 
vote. Why? It is because Donald Trump doesn't want us to solve the 
problem. He wants to campaign on it.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to 
get serious about working together on real immigration reform, securing 
the border, providing a path to citizenship to those who earn it, 
stopping the grandstanding, and getting to work for the American 
people.
