“reclaiming my time, I come to the floor to sound the alarm, as a lot of my colleagues are, about the crisis at the southern border. I have been here over 3 years, and I have never seen this group try to do more for people out of our country than within our country. It is amazing. But this is the worst border crisis in our history. Since Joe Biden took office, there have been at least 8 million illegal crossings at our southern border--that we know of. This is in addition to the 2 million ``got-aways.'' These are the illegals that we know of. The real number is probably much, much higher. Border crossings are at a record high. Deportations are at a record low. Why is this happening? You know, it didn't come out of the blue. This is a policy choice by President Biden and his allies here in Congress. We have been talking about this now for 3 years, asking why; and we have not gotten one good answer yet. Why is our border open? Joe Biden campaigned on opening up our borders. He campaigned on giving free healthcare to illegal aliens. So it is no surprise that he is keeping his promise. Since taking office, President Biden has taken 94 Executive actions related to immigration--94. We have the same laws on the books as we did when President Trump was in office, but President Trump secured the border. Joe Biden has opened our border more than it ever has been in the history of this country. Let's take a look at just a few of these Executive actions.…”
