00:00Mr. Speaker, President Biden is attempting to gaslight the American people by touting
00:06a 40% drop in daily illegal border crossings from the last couple of weeks.
00:12He even implied that the so-called drop shows a more secure border than the one he inherited
00:18from President Trump.
00:20That is a gross misrepresentation.
00:22No matter what the border numbers from June turn out to be, one month won't change the
00:27more than 9.6 million immigrant encounters under this president.
00:34Let's look at the facts.
00:35May marked 39 straight months of more illegal immigrant encounters than even the highest
00:42month under the Trump administration.
00:45President Biden simply cannot rewrite history.
00:49Each time the president boasts about a drop in encounters, he is acknowledging that he
00:54could have acted three and a half years ago, but instead put our nation at risk with his
01:00open border policies.
01:02Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back.
