Speech #1100029627

This means that the Federal Government and the Justice Department and the Federal prosecutors along the TexasMexico border and the entire border with Mexico need to get their act together and prosecute people that illegally come into the United States. They need to quit prosecuting the border protectors and spending all of the American money going down into Mexico and finding drug smugglers and giving them immunity for bringing drugs into the United States and prosecuting border agents like Ramos and Compean. They need to quit making deals with seven or eight illegals who came into Texas and were caught by Deputy Gilmer Hernandez. and then they were given a deal to stay in the country. given green cards. all to prosecute Deputy Hernandez because he fired his gun. We need to find the resources to protect our border. Whatever it takes. we have to protect the border. It is the duty of our government to protect the sovereignty of this Nation. Today this House just spent billions of dollars dumping money for spinach farmers and peanut farmers and for all kinds of little special pork projects in this country. Maybe that money would have been better spent to find more facilities to detain the illegals. to find more immigration judges to hear these cases. and to find more prosecutors who will do their job and prosecute the illegals in this country and deport them back where they came from no matter where they are. Mr. Speaker. it is the first duty of government to protect its people. and that includes the people that live in the United States. Part of that protection is to keep us protecting from the unlawful invasion of foreigners who come to this country without permission. Whether they come here just for illegal reasons. criminal intent. whether they are human smugglers or drug smugglers. or whether they are terrorists. they need to stay out. And when caught. they need to be deported the first time. not the sixth time. This six time rule. five getoutofjailfree cards by our Federal Government. and this absurd policy needs to be eliminated immediately. I yield back the remainder of my time saying thats just the way it is.
