            SECURE THE BORDER AND FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE LAW

  (Mr. BRIDENSTINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRIDENSTINE. Mr. Speaker, the President refuses to secure the 
border, ignoring our laws. He has promoted citizenship for anyone who 
makes it into our country illegally. In so doing, he has caused mass 
illegal migration into our country. This has resulted in human 
trafficking, abuse, and even death.
  The President has turned U.S. military bases into refugee camps, 
denying Members of Congress access to these camps. He has allowed media 
tours, but the media can't ask questions, can't talk to medical staff 
or employees, can't talk to the children, can't bring recording 
devices, and can't take pictures. It is very reminiscent of the former 
Soviet Union.
  Mr. Speaker, the President's lawlessness on the border has undermined 
our national sovereignty and national security. Now the President wants 
our constituents to pay $3.7 billion to solve a problem he created. 
Without a secure border, this is just the beginning.
  Members of both parties must demand that the President finally secure 
the border and faithfully execute the law.
