Mrs. KIM of California. Madam Speaker, I just got back from the U.S.- Mexico border in San Diego, and that was my sixth trip to the southern border since I have been in Congress.

Communities I represent are hurting from this border crisis that has become worse than ever before under the policies of this administration. It is a national security crisis, a humanitarian crisis, and a public health crisis.

My bipartisan amendment to force the Biden administration to finally create a strategy to secure every mile of southern border was added to the Homeland Security appropriations bill that was passed today.

President Obama signed into law in 2016 a bill to require a northern border strategy, but no similar law exists today for our southern border. This will change that.

We must secure our southern border, and I will keep fighting to get this done.
