Mr. Speaker. I want to talk about immigration chaos that is occurring in this country. There has been a lot of talk about immigration. border security and all of the problems that are occurring. But lets talk about one that has maybe slipped through the cracks and we dont hear too much about. We have people in this country that have come from foreign nations that are illegally in the United States. Some of those people are criminals. They have gone to penitentiaries throughout this country. Our Federal Government then captures those individuals. takes them to an immigration judge. They are ordered deported back to their nations. and here is what happens: eight of those nations refuse to take back lawfully deported aliens. They wont take back their own citizens. Remember. all of these people are illegally in the United States. many are criminals. How many people are we talking about? Well. we are talking about 136.000 individuals. The cost to the taxpayers to incarcerate those individuals while they are waiting deportation hearings is $83 million. Who are those nations? Well. seven of the eight.
