WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-6) addressed newly released data from the border, showing another record-breaking month of illegal immigrant encounters, from the month of April, on the House Floor.
The full speech, as prepared for delivery, is below:
Madam Speaker, two hundred and thirty-four thousand, eighty-eight (234,088) illegal immigrants crossed the southern border last month. That’s a record-breaking number that I take no pleasure in reading aloud.
This surpassed the previous record of two hundred and twenty-one thousand, three hundred and three (221,303) set in March. In President Biden’s first 15 months in office, federal law enforcement officials have stopped more than 2.75 million people attempting to cross into the U.S. illegally. To put things in perspective, that is more than the entire population of the Nashville, TN metropolitan area.
Despite continuously breaking these records, the president has shown absolutely no serious desire to stem the flow of illegal immigration, as evidenced by his rescission of Title 42 and his stopping construction of the border wall.
Madam Speaker, President Biden must do better.
