Mr. Speaker, this April, Border Patrol agents encountered more than 170,000 illegal immigrants attempting to enter our country under President Biden's open southern border. Border security is national security, and President Biden has shown a complete and systematic failure to protect the sovereignty of this great Nation. Since President Biden took office, more than 350 individuals on the terrorist watch list have been apprehended attempting to enter the United States. That doesn't include those who came through without being apprehended. By continuing to promote catch and release policies to facilitate illegal immigration, President Biden has continued to incentivize those who wish to harm us and cross at open borders. A President who refuses to enforce our laws and secure our borders cannot effectively lead the American people. We need to equip our Border Patrol agents with the tools necessary to enforce our laws. It is time for the Senate to pass H.R. 2. It is time for the Senate to work with us to keep all Americans safe. The Data is Clear
