                          THE HOUSE OF AMERICA

  (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, Joe Carcamo, an illegal El Salvadoran, had 17 
driving violations when he drunkenly was drag racing down a Michigan 
street and hit two teenagers. He was driving 75 miles an hour. He 
cracked the skull of one of them and the other girl lost both her legs.
  We could have stopped this reckless illegal after his first 
violation, which was breaking and entering into our country, but 
politics stops local law enforcement from making these arrests. Not so 
with Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Maricopa County. He is using an Arizona 
law that locks up smugglers and their customers, too, for conspiring to 
break the law.
  The Mexican Government wants to help illegals break out of his jail 
by suing Sheriff Joe for just enforcing American law. The word is out: 
Coyote smugglers avoid Maricopa County and the High Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
  Mr. Speaker, our sheriffs and Border Patrol do as good a job as we 
let them do, and our Nation must send out the word: Enter the House of 
America legally, or you will enter the jailhouse.
  And that's just the way it is.
