                         OUTRAGE ON THE BORDER

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, on the desolate Arizona-Mexico board last week, 
a border agent was apprehending seven illegals when a fight broke out 
at the scene. The border agent shot one of the illegals. The Mexican 
Government, in its self-righteous arrogance and without knowing any of 
the facts, has already condemned the border agent.
  President Calderon, like Generalisimo Fox before him, is partly 
responsible for this incident. Why? Because his government encourages 
illegals to sneak into America. The blood of the dead is on the hands 
of the Mexican Government.
  Meanwhile, back in Texas, a criminal illegal from Mexico, having been 
deported several times, is charged with

the murder of a Houston police officer by shooting him in the back. 
Don't hear much outrage and protest from President Calderon on this 
case. Why not? President Calderon needs to quit blaming the U.S. for 
problems he is responsible for in Mexico because his people are fleeing 
Mexico's third-world environment. He needs to quit encouraging illegals 
to go to America. He needs to quit making his problem our problem; 
otherwise, more Americans and Mexicans will continue to die on the 
border.
  And that's just the way it is.
