Our southern border is in crisis. President Biden has been dodging the crisis they caused at our southern border, calling it a challenge, not a crisis. They have opened our borders but, at the same time, kept our schools closed. The Democrat's approach of ``come on in'' has reversed sensible immigration control measures put in place by the previous administration and led to disastrous results. Compared to pre-inauguration numbers, Customs and Border Protection is encountering five times the number of family units trying to cross the border. We are on pace to have over 100,000 unaccompanied minors cross the border illegally this year, up by 45 percent. Customs and Border Protection is projecting a 20,000-bed shortage for the children in their custody. Under his rule, asylum seekers are now allowed to come into America to wait. And even if they are COVID-positive, they are released into the country--many of whom will never be seen again. Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge President Biden to reverse these disastrous actions and return to sensible immigration policies that were present to stem the tide of illegal immigration. ____________________
