Border Crisis Still Exists

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, in the zeal to spend more money on our military, some of which is admirable, it is easy to forget that we still have a crisis at the southern border.

Again and again, month after month, 160,000, 180,000 people are coming here. It should be brought to our attention because recently a horrific sexual assault of a 10-year-old made national news, and I don't believe it was anywhere near publicized enough that the assault was done by an illegal immigrant.

This is what happens when we have an open border. People have to pay a horrible price for the laxness here. In addition, of course, to the sexual assault, we have the 110,000 deaths by illegal drugs in this country, and the current administration doesn't seem to care at all.

It is time in this plethora of spending bills to have dramatic increases in the number of people at the border as well as to go back to the stay in Mexico policy.
