                OUR BORDER SECURITY PLAN IS NOT WORKING

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Christmas is supposed to be the 
happiest time of the year, especially for children. But it wasn't for 
an 8-year-old girl who was raped by an outlaw in her own home. Her 
rapist was Salvador Portillo-Saravia, a known criminal who was 
illegally living in the United States.
  In 2003, Portillo-Saravia was an MS-13 gang member. He was arrested 
and deported back to El Salvador. But since we have open borders, the 
child rapist was able to come back into the United States very easily 
and unnoticed.
  In November of 2010 he was arrested for public intoxication in 
Virginia, but rather than be held in jail and deported, he was released 
back into the streets of America because his illegal status was not 
discovered by a computer system. One month later, Salvador Portillo-
Saravia raped an innocent 8-year-old girl. This disgusting crime would 
have been prevented if we really secured our borders, we deported 
criminal aliens and then kept them from returning to the United States.
  Tell the parents of this 8-year-old girl that our border security 
plan is working.
  And that's just the way it is.
