                      PRIORITIZING BORDER SECURITY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, we must prioritize border 
security.
  After visiting the border three times since taking office, it was 
indeed an eye-opening experience. Border Patrol agents face severe 
staff shortages, often working long hours, pulled from their families, 
and need better infrastructure.
  Border communities need more resources, and the increasing influx of 
fentanyl across the country poses a significant threat to public 
health. We must stop drug cartels.
  Our southern border is critical to our national security. I remain 
dedicated to taking a collaborative approach to address comprehensive 
immigration reform and securing the southern border. I am willing to 
work closely with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to bring 
about positive change for the people of eastern North Carolina and the 
entire Nation.
