JUST ANOTHER DAY ON THE TEXAS BORDER, PART II
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, American missionaries Nancy and Sam
Davis ran a charity in poor villages in Mexico. Recently, Nancy and Sam
were driving home to Texas from Mexico when they were ambushed near the
border by a roadblock of masked gunmen who opened fire on them. Nancy
was shot in the back of the head. Sam bravely raced against oncoming
traffic to the border while Nancy sat in the passenger seat bleeding to
death. Nancy did not survive and died in McAllen, Texas.
The Mexican government has already said they will not investigate
this homicide, and the American government must hold Mexico
accountable. The narcoterrorists continue to murder Americans in
lawless Mexico, and they will continue their terror on our side of the
border if they are not stopped. They are international bandits.
Meanwhile, our Federal Government continues to whistle by the graveyard
of victims while the people in the border towns live in constant fear
and danger. But it is just another day on the Texas border.
And that's just the way it is.
