Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I have the honor of representing Yuma County, Arizona. And as many of you know, Yuma is the epicenter of the Biden-created border crisis. When Mr. Biden says he is not going to enforce our immigration laws, when he says he is not going to build a border wall, it has dire consequences.

Mr. Biden's decision last month to release illegal immigrants in Yuma County on a daily basis has opened up a spigot of border crossings into my great State of Arizona. Now my worst fears are coming through: Illegal aliens are flooding into Yuma. We have now ceded operational control of the border to the cartels. In less than 2 months, the Biden administration has destroyed much of President Trump's progress in securing the southern border. The Biden administration's open border policy, coupled with Nancy Pelosi's amnesty bills taken up this week--this very day in Congress will only exacerbate the growing humanitarian health and security crisis along the southern border. It is shocking to me that the House Democrats' answer to the Biden- created border crisis is to take up legislation that would give amnesty, plus a path to citizenship, to more than 5 million illegal aliens.
