Thanks to our next speaker, I have been to the border in Arizona and Texas, both during President Trump's Presidency and now during President Biden's Presidency. What our next speaker has taught me along the way is the night-and-day difference. The border was under control under President Trump; it is wide open under President Biden. What I have learned and what I have stressed more than ever before is that what is going on at the border impacts my district in northeast Indiana every single day. Our next speaker is the co-chair of the Border Security Caucus. No one does more in Congress to highlight these issues and work toward protecting and securing our border than Dr. Brian Babin. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin).
