I rise today with a motion to commit to instruct that H.R. 2 be added to this continuing resolution. H.R. 2 contains a comprehensive plan to secure the border, to stop catch-and-release, to build the wall, to stop visa overstays, and to reform abuse of immigration, parole, and asylum laws. In the past couple of weeks, we have seen tragedy across this country, including of a 22-year-old woman murdered in the State of Georgia, including a 2-year-old child murdered in the State of Virginia, including a 14-year-old child raped in Boston, MA, including a child under 14 raped in Louisiana--all by illegal aliens released by the Biden administration. It is time for this to end. This bill has passed the House, and if the Senate wants to secure our open borders, we can do so right now-- today. I urge an affirmative vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington.
