   PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP NOMINATES PATRIOTS KRISTI NOEM AND TOM HOMAN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the failure of border 
security under Biden-Harris has endangered every American family. 
President Donald Trump and House Republicans will secure the border and 
restore safety to American families.
  The final 2024 U.S. Customs and Border Protection report showed that 
since Biden, up to 16 million illegal aliens have entered America, as 
cited by Speaker   Mike Johnson.
  Border czar Harris has put Americans at risk by failing to remove 99 
percent of illegal aliens released into the United States and allowing 
300,000 illegal crossings in December 2023, the highest month in 
history. There have been 14,000 convicted murderers who entered into 
the United States. American families have spoken.
  President Donald Trump has nominated a proven border czar, Tom Homan, 
to work and serve with Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland 
Security. The Homan-Noem team means safety for American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Open borders for dictators puts all Americans at risk of 
more 9/11 attacks imminent, as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstate 
existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength.
