                ENACT STRATEGY TO SECURE SOUTHERN BORDER

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Madam Speaker, I just got back from the U.S.-
Mexico border in San Diego, and that was my sixth trip to the southern 
border since I have been in Congress.
  Communities I represent are hurting from this border crisis that has 
become worse than ever before under the policies of this 
administration. It is a national security crisis, a humanitarian 
crisis, and a public health crisis.
  My bipartisan amendment to force the Biden administration to finally 
create a strategy to secure every mile of southern border was added to 
the Homeland Security appropriations bill that was passed today.
  President Obama signed into law in 2016 a bill to require a northern 
border strategy, but no similar law exists today for our southern 
border. This will change that.
  We must secure our southern border, and I will keep fighting to get 
this done.
