FOREIGN KILLERS DON'T GO HOME
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Ashton Cline-McMurry, a 16-year-old
kid with cerebral palsy, was walking home from a football game in
Massachusetts when he was ambushed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered.
One of the killers, Loeun Heng, an illegal from Cambodia, was sent to
prison. Ashton's family was promised this murderer would then be
deported back to Cambodia after serving his sentence. But he never was.
Why? Because Cambodia and other nations refuse to take back their
convicted felons from the United States. So the assassin, by U.S. law,
has been released on the streets of America. He is still illegally
here.
Mr. Speaker, there are over 140,000 criminal aliens in the United
States, like Heng, that have been sent to prison, ordered deported, and
their native nation stalls, delays, and eventually refuses to take
these outlaws back. So they are running loose in the United States.
The worst offending nations are Cuba, China, India, Pakistan, and
Jamaica.
The United States should consider cutting aid and stopping visas to a
nation that won't take their criminals back. And maybe that will get
their attention, and they will take their people home.
And that's just the way it is.
