“I thank the gentlewoman for her remarks and her clear communication and the heartfelt pleas to solve this issue. There are so many simple policies. If we put them in place, they are wins for everybody. They are political wins, and they are policy wins. We don't understand why we don't take to see what has worked well in the past and try to reimplement it. Mr. Speaker, we welcome another border State. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from the great State of California (Mr. LaMalfa) to share his remarks. Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to join my colleague from Utah in this role here tonight. I appreciate his stepping forward to take this on. It is very important to help communicate what we are up to here. We have had much discussion this afternoon on the border and the effects of a nonborder policy since the Biden administration has been in charge. It has been difficult enough as it is over several years when President Trump very strongly attempted and had some level of success in securing our border with more fencing and more personnel. Since then it has been completely undone by the Biden administration. We have personnel going down there and actually welding the gates open and doing everything they can, suing the State of Texas to remove barriers in the river there that would normally help deter this illegal immigration, this massive wave that is coming in, indeed, it is called an invasion by many. I will echo that. Why is it?…”
