                          ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, on June 30, the Department of 
Homeland Security and the FBI's Safe Street Gang Task Force arrested 10 
members of the SUR-13 gang on illegal immigration charges in my 
district. The largest gang bust in Alpharetta, Georgia, history serves 
to spotlight the ever present need to secure our borders.
  These illegal gang members are not only taking American jobs and tax 
money, they are also taking American lives. These gang members 
distribute dangerous drugs, they commit murders, assaults, drive-by 
shootings and auto thefts. We must get serious about immigration 
reform.
  Mr. Speaker, 400,000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported 
are still in this country because their deportation orders have not 
been enforced. In many cases, after being ordered deported by a judge, 
the illegal alien simply walks out of the courtroom without so much as 
someone ensuring that they leave the country.
  Mr. Speaker, our immigration policies are broken. One of the SUR-13 
gang members put it all in perspective. When ordered deported, he said, 
``I'll be back. It's so easy. People here are stupid.''
  Our borders need to be secured and the time to act is now.
