                             GIVE-UP GROUPS

  (Mr. LaLOTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaLOTA. Madam Speaker, ``give-up groups'' is the new term coined 
by our brave Border Patrol for an assembly of about 10 to 30 migrants 
who cross north across America's southern border, where there is no 
wall or barrier, and who don't even attempt to evade Border Patrol.
  Rather, the give-up groups know that if they falsely claim asylum, 
President Biden will facilitate their parole into our country. Not only 
that, the Biden administration will give them a pair of Crocs, a 
sandwich, a sweat suit, and a plane ride to a city, like New York.
  I learned about give-up groups this past weekend on my fourth trip to 
the southern border. This new tactic is another way the migrants are 
taking advantage of President Biden's terrible border policy.
  Madam Speaker, to secure the border and to stop these give-up groups, 
President Biden should reinstate the 64 successful Trump-era border 
policies.
