                   HIGHLIGHT OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I will discuss the biggest highlight of 
the Trump administration so far, and that is what he has done at the 
border. We have gone from having over 300,000 people a month trying to 
get into this country to under 8,000 in February.
  That shows that, with a little bit of determination, we can enforce 
our immigration laws.
  Mr. Speaker, there was an important hearing that was not covered 
enough in this Congress this week. In the Oversight and Government 
Reform Committee, we brought in four Democratic mayors who refused to 
say that our immigration laws should be enforced.
  It is very difficult for President Trump to protect our country when 
we have elected officials, mayors and Governors from around the 
country, in essence saying: We are going to stand in the way of 
enforcing our immigration laws.
  It is time for the American people to stand up and tell their local 
officials that we want our immigration laws enforced. It is very 
difficult to enforce them if local law enforcement or social services 
are not on board.
