            BIDEN'S BORDER CRISIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO IDAHOANS

  (Mr. FULCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, while the crisis at our southern border 
continues to worsen due to President Biden's blatant disregard for U.S. 
immigration laws, Customs and Border Protection officers are now seeing 
a spike in activity at our northern border.
  Last month, 16,750 illegal immigrants were encountered at our 
northern border, a staggering 1,240 percent increase compared to April 
2021, and that is just what we know of.
  CBP reports that most of these individuals are attempting to evade 
apprehension, unlike at the southern border, where groups often 
surrender knowing they will be released directly into the U.S.
  Our national security is in shambles as this crisis continues to 
escalate with no end in sight. Unlike President Biden, I will not stand 
by and allow known gang members, terrorists, and foreign aggressors to 
waltz into our country through our northern border and Idaho.
  I will continue to fight to secure our border, and I urge my 
colleagues to do the same.
