Chairman. I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding time to me. Americas social infrastructure and institutions are being overwhelmed by illegal aliens. Many people are afraid to speak out on this issue. But we can no longer deny this fact: Illegal aliens are availing themselves of social services provided by the taxpayers. and frankly. we cant afford it. That is what this debate is all about: Whether or not some illegal aliens should receive taxpayerpaid benefits through the Legal Services Corporation. I speak on behalf of the overwhelming majority of my constituents when I say no. we cannot afford to provide illegal aliens with free legal advice. Our country is going bankrupt. We must prioritize. and our citizens must have priority over illegal aliens. If we keep trying to do everything for everybody. we will soon find that we are unable to do anything for anybody. Illegal aliens should not receive taxpayer funded legal advice. or any other taxsupported services. Finally. Mr. Chairman. Attorney General Barr reported that a significant number of the persons arrested for rioting and looting in Los Angeles were illegal aliens. And while some of these illegal aliens have been deported. there seems to be no special efforts or commitment by the administration to get these looters and rioters out of this country as soon as possible. The illegal aliens who were rioting and looting should be deported. and it shouldnt cost the taxpayers a fortune to do it. Kick them out of country and keep them out. Its time to get serious. Worst of all. the illegals who are not deported for looting will remain here and then through this bill. could receive taxpayer funded legal advice. Give me a break. Give the taxpayers a break.
Identified stereotypes
Illegal aliens are portrayed as a drain on social services, criminals, and a threat to the country's financial stability.
