                    FREEWAY HOMICIDES AND AN ILLEGAL

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, as Maria Ortiz and her daughter Vanessa were 
driving down the Eastex Freeway in Kingwood, Texas, on Sunday 
afternoon, they were probably talking about the upcoming birth of 
Vanessa's baby boy Nathaniel.
  Ignacio Gomez-Gutierrez was blasting down that same freeway in his 
pick-up truck. He came up behind Maria and Vanessa and slammed his 
truck into the back of their car, smashing the trunk into the front 
seat, killing them both, Maria, Vanessa and also Nathaniel.
  Gomez-Gutierrez was three times the legal limit drunk. Witnesses who 
were following him driving stated that he was so drunk he could barely 
hold his head up.
  After this coward killed the Ortizes, he fled from his pick-up and 
ran, but he was finally captured and held for the police by a 
bystander.
  Gomez-Gutierrez had already been convicted three times for drunk 
driving, and he was an illegal from Mexico. But he had been never been 
deported after any of his convictions. If he had, Maria, Vanessa, and 
the baby would still be here.
  How many more Americans and legal immigrants need to be killed before 
the Feds start deporting these criminal illegals?
  And that's just the way it is.
