Donald Huddle. I would like to submit part of that for the RECORD because of the limitation on time. Literally. there are billions and billions and billions of dollars that are being wasted because of the illegal alien problem. And the drug problem is being exacerbated as well. You go down to the border. and you will see trucks and cars back up for miles and miles and miles. They use sniffer dogs to try to find the drugs that are in these semis that are coming across the border and in these cars. They can only work for about 45 minutes. and the customs officials. the Border Patrol. cannot possibly check every one of those cars or trucks. that is. semis bringing in products from the maquiladoro companies down there. As a result. billions of dollars of drugs are coming across that border because we do not have enough money to police the border. not to mention the illegal alien problem that we are talking about. As I mentioned a few minutes ago. there were 37.000 illegal alien babies born in Los Angeles County alone. and that cost $25 million per month in AFDC payments alone. not to mention the health care costs involved. Do you know that when they had the Los Angeles riots--you say. well. this does not have an impact on law and order in this country. when they had the L.A. riots and we appropriated billions of dollars out of this Chamber to help Los Angeles recoup from that. there were 1.200 illegal aliens involved in that riot who were deported. That has not been reported very much in the newspaper. 1.200 illegal aliens were involved in that riot. a big part of it. and they were deported. As a matter of fact. there were estimates as high as 60 percent of the people involved in the Los Angeles riots were illegal aliens. Now. this is a byproduct of not being able to stop this problem at the border.
