  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, Dianne Rowland of Houston has written me about 
the illegal invasion into the United States. She writes, ``I just heard 
that the Border Patrol is providing information to the Mexican 
Government on the location of the Minutemen. Obviously, the Mexican 
Government then relays that information to the illegals, since Mexico 
wants to transfer their problems to us.
  ``Stop the spying and reporting on the Minutemen. During World War 
II, would we have notified Japan or the Germans where we had Civil Air 
Patrol stations? I think not. This isn't any different, only we don't 
yet have a declared war with Mexico. However, it is apparent that we do 
have a war between the government and the American people.
  ``Leave the Minutemen alone. They are the only people I trust on the 
border. They are providing a service free of charge and doing a job 
that you, the government, can't do and refuse to do. They are not 
breaking any laws, but feeding information to Mexico should be against 
the law.''

  Mr. Speaker, is our government at war with our own country? This 
Nation has the obligation to protect our borders, and those who play 
the role of Benedict Arnold and help Mexico to illegally invade the 
United States should be held publicly accountable and dealt with by the 
American public. And that's just the way it is.
