          MEXICO SUES AMERICA--LONE STAR VOICE: CURTIS KRUEGER

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, my office has been inundated by calls from 
citizens since the announcement that the Mexican government plans to 
sue the United States over our military troops along our border, hauled 
into court by the Fox south of the border.
  Curtis Krueger of Kingwood, Texas, writes to me:
  ``Now I read that Mexico is considering suing the United States over 
border patrols. To not respond to this would be egregious. We as 
Americans have a sovereign right to have our borders protected by 
however and whomever we see fit. Our government should vocalize this in 
every way possible, not sit back and let someone else formulate public 
opinion. To say we cannot handle the immigrant insurgency in our 
country flies directly in the face of what we are doing in Iraq. If we 
are in Iraq to handle insurgents, why aren't we able to do so within 
our own borders. I, along with a vast majority of Americans, say to you 
and the government, `We want our country back.'''
  America is now going to be sued in our courts by foreign nations for 
protecting our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, this ought not to be. We the people have become we the 
defendants. Mr. Krueger has got it right. Hopefully our government 
does.
  And that's just the way it is.
