                  EMERGENCY BORDER CONTROL RESOLUTION

  (Mr. HARRIS of Maryland asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIS of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce the 
Emergency Border Control Resolution to kick-start the resolution 
process.
  As we stand here today, negotiations have stalled in the House. We 
all know this. We are at a crossroads in this reconciliation process, 
and it is time for the House and Senate to quickly pass a border 
funding bill with a debt ceiling increase so President Trump can 
deliver on his promises to the American people and reassure the 
financial markets.
  The legislation I just introduced is a budget that contains $200 
billion in new funding for President Trump to secure our southern 
border, fund immigration enforcement, and rebuild America's defenses.
  This increased spending is paired with $486 billion in cuts to 
Biden's failed and wasteful spending. These cuts will result in a $286 
billion real deficit reduction over 10 years.
  The Emergency Border Control Resolution is the first step in the 
Freedom Caucus' 218 strategy to successfully implement the President's 
America First agenda.
