Mr. Speaker. illegal immigration is a huge concern to the vast majority of Americans. Some States are welcoming illegal aliens with drivers licenses. inState college tuition. and access to social services. One has to wonder how can this be. It appears to many that we are rewarding those that break the laws. Whoever said crime does not pay must not have been talking about those who enter our country illegally. Crossing the border illegally is a criminal act. however. we give these people access to everything you can imagine. Lax enforcement of our immigration policies is making every day payday for illegal aliens. States other than Texas. Arizona. and California are now more burdened than ever picking up the tab for illegal aliens. with Georgia. my home State. ranking in the top 10 with illegal alien populations. Hospitals and others are being forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel to look for money. money that should be spent on American citizens and those here legally. 51. Pt. 17 October 17. 2005 Mr. Speaker. not tomorrow. not the day after that. not next week. not next month. but today. today Is the time to stop illegal immigration. H.R. 3693 will do just that.
