Mr. Speaker. imagine for a moment that there was a gang. an organization of Mexican nationals who believed zealously and fanatically that the Southwest of the United States had been stolen from them: and that this group of people committed to murdering in order to right that wrong. was funded and controlled by countries that were dedicated to the destruction of the United States. that this group had stockpiled thousands of offensive weapons that could be unleashed on our citizens with little or no warning. that it launched an unprovoked. crossborder attack from Baja. California. kidnapped two of our border patrol agents and killed several others. And it then unleashed a massive barrage of missiles on San Diego with the sole intent of killing innocent civilians. The American people would demand immediate and decisive action.
