These policy reversals led to, at the time, caravans of migrants in Mexico wearing ``Biden, thank you'' T-shirts as they approached the United States border. Since that time, Mr. Speaker, there have been 8.5 million illegal border crossings, as well as an estimated 1.7 million got-aways, over 10 million illegal entries, most of whom we don't have any idea who they are or where they are throughout the United States of America.
