                       TIME TO SECURE OUR BORDERS

  (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 Mexican drug cartel crossed our 
border and opened fire on our security forces. Reports say the Mexican 
drug barons have placed a $200,000 bounty on any American border guard. 
Think about it. If these assassins kill five American guards, they make 
$1 million. If that is not enough to bust your buns, Mexico apologized 
by saying it was very, quote-unquote, regrettable.
  Beam me up. It is time to secure our borders. If our military can 
vaccinate dogs in Haiti, they can secure our borders.
  I yield back the fact that Congress keeps turning the other cheek, 
and Mexican drug barons are now servicing all four cheeks. Think about 
it.
