    HOW MANY AMERICANS MUST BE VICTIMIZED BEFORE BORDERS ARE SECURE?

  (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, two Texas women were beaten to death in 
their own home. They were two of nine victims supposedly killed by the 
infamous railroad killer from Mexico. The border is wide open. From 
narcotics to terrorists, the border is wide open.
  Tell me, Mr. Speaker, how many more Americans must be murdered in 
their own home? How many more Americans must die of drug overdoses? How 
many more Americans must be victimized and live in fear of terrorists? 
Tell me, Mr. Speaker, how many more Americans must be abused before 
Congress secures our border? Beam me up.
  I yield back a massive problem that can and will not be solved.
