Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Smith for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

President Trump inherited a disastrous open-border policy from the Biden-Harris administration. There were nearly 9 million encounters at the southern border under President Biden, more than the last 14 years combined.

You can plainly see the difference between the first 5 months of President Biden and the first 5 months of President Trump on this chart.

As it turns out, all we really needed was a new President. Now the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will permanently secure the southern border. It completes the wall, funds thousands of new border agents, and equips them with the cutting-edge tools that they need.

I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' because border security is national security.
