                 LONE STAR VOICES--TIM AND SUSAN JACOB

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, illegal entry into our homeland negatively 
affects our economic security. Illegals are driving up the costs for 
health care, education, Social Security and other Social Services. 
Americans pick up the tab for these bills because illegals do not pay 
their way.
  Tim and Susan Jacob of Groves, Texas speak out on this fact. They 
say, ``It should be evident more than ever that the U.S. does not have 
the infrastructure for 12 to 20 million illegals. This summer we are 
seeing rolling blackouts, complete power outages, gasoline above $3 a 
gallon, Houston streets are overloaded with automobiles and illegals 
driving without insurance. We have hospital closings and poor 
performance of the public school system. Shut down the borders, enforce 
the existing laws and prosecute employers who hire illegals.''
  Mr. Speaker, common sense rings true again. We cannot ignore the 
negative impact of illegal entry. It is morally wrong to make Americans 
pay the costs for foreigners illegally in our Nation.
  And that's just the way it is.
