               DEPLOY NATIONAL GUARD TO SECURE OUR BORDER

  (Mr. DUNCAN of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, we have a very sad human 
tragedy going on at our border, with many thousands of children coming 
to the U.S. from Central America.
  Americans are the most generous, compassionate people in the world, 
but if we don't secure our borders, we will destroy America as we have 
known it. There are probably several hundred million people who would 
come here in a short time, if we simply opened our borders.
  We must have a legal, orderly system of immigration, and it must be 
enforced. Our entire infrastructure--our schools, our hospitals, our 
jails, our sewers, and so forth--just cannot take in hundreds of 
millions more people in a short time.
  We need to immediately deploy our National Guard to secure our 
border, and we need to immediately change the laws, so that every 
unaccompanied child does not require a court hearing.
  This is an emergency situation, Mr. Speaker. It does not require more 
money. It requires immediate action with funds that are already 
available.
