                      TENNESSEANS HOPE FOR CHANGE

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, last week President Biden signed an executive 
order to limit the number of asylum seekers that are allowed to enter 
the United States each day.
  The policy is far too little too late, but it highlights how House 
Republicans have consistently said that the President has the tools to 
close the border, and he has had those tools for 3\1/2\ years now.
  Instead, the President has prioritized ending effective border and 
immigration policies over ensuring the safety and security of the 
citizens of the United States. Shortly after taking office, he ended 
border wall construction, remain in Mexico, and made many other 
shortsighted changes.
  This resulted in more than 9 million illegal immigrant encounters at 
our Nation's borders, an easily expected outcome. Tennesseans 
rightfully concerned about this catastrophe see right through this 
election year campaign gimmick and hope for change come November.
