                  BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION FAILURES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, for the past 3\1/2\ years, 
the Biden-Harris administration has brought nothing but failure and 
crisis into communities and homes across America.
  Beginning with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to runaway 
inflation at the gas pump and grocery store, we have seen nothing but 
catastrophe from an administration that has been unable and unwilling 
to meet the needs of the American people.
  Since President Biden took office and Vice President Harris was named 
the border czar, nearly 10 million illegal immigrants have been 
encountered at our southern border and points of entry. This failure to 
keep our border secure is proof that this administration is more 
focused on allowing mass, illegal immigration than it is on protecting 
the safety and the security of the American citizens.
  It is time to return to the remain in Mexico policy that we had under 
President Donald J. Trump. It is time for a President who will put a 
stop to the illegal fentanyl that continues to pour across our southern 
border and poison and kill our neighbors, friends, and children. It is 
time for a leader who will keep America safe.


                          Bedford County Fair

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this week the Bedford County 
Fair is celebrating its 150th anniversary. For generations of families 
in central Pennsylvania, this fair has been an incredible opportunity 
to come together and celebrate the farmers, the growers, and the 
workers who do so much to support agriculture not just in south central 
Pennsylvania, but throughout Pennsylvania and throughout America.
  During this week, there will be 4-H auctions, tractor pulls, bull 
riding, and agriculture showcases that all highlight the work that is 
being done in agriculture in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
  Yesterday, I had the chance to visit the fair and meet with the 
farmers who are suffering from the inflation and the government red 
tape created by the Biden-Harris administration that has made it so 
difficult for our farmers to maintain the productivity that they expect 
and that America deserves.
  It is time for Congress to take a stand and pass legislation that 
supports our agriculture sector. That is why I am proud to sponsor the 
Dairy Pride Act, which would stop nondairy products from appearing in 
the dairy aisle and the dairy produce sections.
  As the Bedford County Fair marks this 150th anniversary, let's make a 
commitment to standing with the American farmers who help to provide 
the nutritious, wholesome food that Americans so desperately need and 
that Americans want.
