Mr. Speaker. back in November. Homeland Security officials found and deported 85 illegal aliens from Mexico. 63 of the 85 had previously committed such crimes as burglary. drug possession. sexual assault and murder. In September. 99 illegal aliens were arrested in a sting operation in my home State of Florida. All of them had violent criminal backgrounds. Back in July. officials arrested 29 illegal aliens from South Korea who were operating a sex trafficking business. 52. Pt. 4 March 29. 2006 If these violent criminals could break through our borders. how do we know that terrorist groups have not also? I call on my colleagues in the Senate to pass the bill that we have passed. H.R. 4437. the Border Protection. Antiterrorism. and Illegal Immigration Control Act. Mr. Speaker. we cannot leave our Nations security to chance.
