Mr. Speaker. on June 30. the Department of Homeland Security and the FBIs Safe Street Gang Task Force arrested 10 members of the SUR13 gang on illegal immigration charges in my district. The largest gang bust in Alpharetta. Georgia. history serves to spotlight the ever present need to secure our borders. These illegal gang members are not only taking American jobs and tax money. they are also taking American lives. These gang members distribute dangerous drugs. they commit murders. assaults. driveby shootings and auto thefts. We must get serious about immigration reform. Mr. Speaker. 400.000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported are still in this country because their deportation orders have not been enforced. In many cases. after being ordered deported by a judge. the illegal alien simply walks out of the courtroom without so much as someone ensuring that they leave the country. Mr. Speaker. our immigration policies are broken. One of the SUR13 gang members put it all in perspective. When ordered deported. he said. "Ill be back. Its so easy. People here are stupid." Our borders need to be secured and the time to act is now.
