BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, last week President Biden signed an executive order to limit the number of asylum seekers that are allowed to enter the United States each day.

The policy is far too little too late, but it highlights how House Republicans have consistently said that the President has the tools to close the border, and he has had those tools for 3\1/2\ years now.

Instead, the President has prioritized ending effective border and immigration policies over ensuring the safety and security of the citizens of the United States. Shortly after taking office, he ended border wall construction, remain in Mexico, and made many other shortsighted changes.

This resulted in more than 9 million illegal immigrant encounters at our Nation's borders, an easily expected outcome. Tennesseans rightfully concerned about this catastrophe see right through this election year campaign gimmick and hope for change come November.
