                       ONE CANNOT REWRITE HISTORY

  (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, President Biden is attempting to gaslight the 
American people by touting a 40 percent drop in daily illegal border 
crossings from the last couple of weeks.
  He even implied that the so-called drop shows a more secure border 
than the one he inherited from President Trump. That is a gross 
misrepresentation.
  No matter what the border numbers from June turn out to be, one month 
won't change the more than 9.6 million immigrant encounters under this 
President.
  Let's look at the facts. May marked 39 straight months of more 
illegal immigrant encounters than even the highest month under the 
Trump administration. President Biden simply cannot rewrite history.
  Each time the President boasts about a drop in encounters, he is 
acknowledging that he could have acted 3\1/2\ years ago but instead put 
our Nation at risk with his open-border policies.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
