Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity tonight from Mr. Biggs.

Here we stand, 3 years after Kamala Harris was installed as the border czar helping to spearhead this administration's deadly open- border policies, a task she has carried out with exceptional success for 42 months.

The number of individuals apprehended illegally crossing our southwest border who are on the terror watch list increased roughly 3,000 percent from the previous administration. That is a 3,000 percent increase on the border czar's watch.

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle refuse to call it what it is: an invasion.

I also point out that we just commemorated the 23rd anniversary of 9/ 11. I have said this time and time again, but it bears repeating. It only took 19 depraved individuals to carry out the horrific attacks on that day.

Since Biden installed Kamala as the border czar, close to 400 members of the terror watch list have attempted to infiltrate our Nation. When you combine that number with the nearly 2 million known got-aways that have evaded apprehension and permeated our communities, the likelihood of potential terror attacks in the near future is chilling.

What has to happen for this administration and this Chamber to say: Enough. We will finally take who we are letting into this country seriously?

How many foreign threats do we have to let in?

How many Americans have to be slaughtered at the hands of criminal aliens?

How many sexual predators have to be granted access to our communities before this administration wakes up?

Kamala's record as border czar is a guidebook for what not to do to secure our border and ensure the safety of American families.
