                       SECURE THE SOUTHERN BORDER

  (Mr. GRIFFITH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GRIFFITH. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate all who have been here today 
giving speeches.
  The government shutdown is now over, but the crisis continues on the 
border. About 10 days ago, I was down on the border, and I saw 
firsthand what was happening down there and talked to people who were 
down there.
  So, hopefully, during this time period, because the Democrats said 
repeatedly that if we reopen the government they would negotiate, 
hopefully we can negotiate and come to a bipartisan resolution that 
will help us to secure our southern border and continue to work on 
other ways that we can improve our immigration process.
