RES. 461 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES November 10, 2011 Mr. King of Iowa (for himself, Mr. Gallegly, Mr. Barletta, Mr. Gohmert, and Mr. Jones) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION To support the goals and ideals of the National Day of Remembrance of Victims of Illegal Aliens.

Whereas it is an affront to the safety and security of citizens of the United States to continue to ignore the growing threat of violent crime to such citizens posed by criminal aliens; Whereas, according to the Government Accountability Office, there have been 25,064 homicide arrests of criminal aliens since 1955; Whereas, according to the Government Accountability Office, there were 52,929 criminal aliens incarcerated in Federal prisons and another 295,959 criminal aliens incarcerated in State and local facilities in fiscal year 2009; Whereas, in an analysis by the Government Accountability Office of criminal aliens, 50 percent of those criminal aliens were arrested at least once for either assault, homicide, robbery, a sex offense, or kidnapping; Whereas there are no detailed statistics available to measure the number of rapes, robberies, terrorist threats, and other crimes committed against people in the United States by illegal aliens; Whereas these crimes against Americans are preventable if the Federal Government were to secure our borders, remove illegal aliens, require use of the E-Verify Program, and deny Social Security and other welfare benefits to illegal aliens; Whereas it is time for America to mourn the thousands of unnecessary and preventable deaths that occur at the hands of illegal aliens; and Whereas the victims of illegal alien crime deserve recognition and remembrance: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1)supports the goals and ideals of a National Day of Remembrance of Victims of Illegal Aliens; and (2)calls for a moment of silence for the victims of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens in remembrance thereof across the United States of America.
