Mr. Speaker. typical of the Federal Government. a group of foreign terrorists had to blow up a skyscraper. kill innocent victims. and create mayhem to get the Governments attention about the illegalalien problems we have. We simply cannot afford to be overwhelmed by illegal aliens. terrorists or not. and we cannot afford to provide unlimited services to millions of illegal immigrants who come by land and by sea. We have a process for orderly and lawful immigration. It is not working. Our ability to maintain that order and enforce our laws is jeopardized by a lack of resources and lack of commitment to get serious. A new study projects that. business as usual will cost us $187 billion for illegal immigrant services in the next decade. I ask my cilleagues. Wouldnt it make more sense to invest those resources in protecting U.S. citizens and providing them better services?
Identified stereotypes
Illegal aliens are associated with terrorism and being a burden on the system.
