                        BAILING OUT ART STUDENTS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, last week, President Biden 
unilaterally made the decision to cancel more than $6.1 billion in debt 
for 300,000 art students across our country.
  This is a bailout. This bailout is an insult to the tens of millions 
of Americans who either paid off their student loans or who never 
attended college in the first place.
  Instead of using taxpayer dollars in an attempt to win votes, 
President Biden should be turning his attention to the runaway 
inflation that has impacted every man, woman, and child in America. 
Parents shouldn't have to choose between buying gas or buying groceries 
for their families. Parents should not have to dip into their savings 
or into their retirement accounts to afford basic goods.
  Sadly, under President Biden, these decisions have become all too 
common. It is time to stop wasting taxpayer dollars on student bailouts 
and Green New Deal initiatives. It is time to return to fiscal 
restraint. It is time to put a stop to the runaway inflation that has 
become the trademark of the Biden administration.


                 Biden Administration's Secret Flights

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, last week, the House Homeland 
Security Committee released documents that identified over 45 airport 
locations that were used by President Biden to secretly fly over 
400,000 illegal immigrants into our country.
  These documents, which the Biden administration only turned over 
under subpoena, show that Secretary Mayorkas and President Biden have 
been transporting illegal immigrants into communities across the United 
States.
  It is clear that President Biden is using our regional airports to 
spread this crisis and effectively make each and every State a border 
State.
  The American people cannot afford to have a Homeland Security 
Secretary that fails to keep America safe, and Pennsylvania families 
cannot afford a President who cares more about illegal immigrants than 
about the American people.
