CRISIS ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER
(Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, while the President was vacationing at his beach house, and the Border Czar Kamala Harris enjoyed a football game, our Border Patrol agents were working around the clock to address the over 12,000 migrants who illegally crossed the Del Rio International Bridge this week.
This is on top of the more than 200,000 apprehensions Border Patrol agents encountered in August, a 317 percent increase from the same time last year.
So what has changed?
The Biden administration's reckless repeal of President Trump's successful border policy and the Biden open border agenda. Even the Democratic Mayor of Del Rio, Texas, admitted that ``this is beyond crisis. This is urgent. This is dire.''
The President campaigned on open borders and free health care for illegal immigrants. Americans need to wake up to the socialist policies that are destroying our Nation and undermining the rule of law. The Biden experiment has not worked and will not work and it is a total failure.
In my State of Texas we are always open for business. Now we are open to illegal behavior every single day, thanks to President Biden.
In God we trust.
