Our southern border is under siege and President Biden is asleep at the wheel. Over 40 illegal aliens on the terror watch list have been arrested at the southern border since President Biden took office. In March of this year, 220,000 illegal aliens were encountered at the southern border, and 62,000 of them evaded Border Patrol agents. Madam Speaker, that averages out to roughly 2,000 people per day escaping into our country. So who did Border Patrol agents not catch? Who else is on the terror watch list that escaped into our country? Madam Speaker, border security is national security, and it is clear that this administration fails to recognize that most basic fact and do its duty. ____________________
