                            CITIZENSHIP USA

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the Immigration and Naturalization 
Service admits that up to 180,000 criminals were improperly granted 
citizenship. The INS now says we made a mistake and allowed applicants 
to submit copies of their own fingerprints, and the criminals submitted 
phony prints. Beam me up.
  I say it is time to wage a real war on illegal immigration and drugs. 
Let us transfer some of our military troops falling out of chairs on 
arm rests, cashing their American paycheck in Tokyo and Frankfurt and 
put them on our border and stop this business. This is a joke. This 
program called Citizenship USA has turned into Criminal USA. It does 
not take Karnak the Magnificent to figure it out.
  Congress should fire those incompetent, stumbling, bumbling 
nincompoops at the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Print this.
  I yield back the balance of all illegal immigrants.
