I am from a border State, and I have been to the border multiple times. There is absolutely an invasion at our southern border. Even worse, title 42 ends today. Without title 42, the number of illegal immigrants at our southern border is expected to skyrocket. The Biden administration has no plan. In fact, I heard multiple times from my Democratic colleagues today how we should work together on a comprehensive plan. May I remind my Democratic colleagues that they were in total control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency for the last 2 years, and they did absolutely nothing. The Secure the Border Act is the solution. This bill disincentivizes illegal immigration, ends catch and release, builds the wall, and reinstates President Trump's successful remain in Mexico policy. Republicans want secure borders. Republicans want to protect our communities from deadly fentanyl. Republicans want to protect the innocent immigrant children from being sold into sex slavery, like is happening today. It is time to pass this legislation and secure the border now because President Biden won't.
