President Biden is attempting to gaslight the American people by touting a 40 percent drop in daily illegal border crossings from the last couple of weeks. He even implied that the so-called drop shows a more secure border than the one he inherited from President Trump. That is a gross misrepresentation. No matter what the border numbers from June turn out to be, one month won't change the more than 9.6 million immigrant encounters under this President. Let's look at the facts. May marked 39 straight months of more illegal immigrant encounters than even the highest month under the Trump administration. President Biden simply cannot rewrite history. Each time the President boasts about a drop in encounters, he is acknowledging that he could have acted 3\1/2\ years ago but instead put our Nation at risk with his open-border policies. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
