                         HEADLINES FOR ILLEGALS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I one more time plead with the press corps 
here to report what I thought was the most significant story to come 
out in the last 2 weeks. And that is, that there were 73,000 got-aways 
who came across the southern border in October.
  So our listeners are aware, there are two large groups that have come 
across the southern border when we talk about illegals coming here. 
Some turn themselves into Border Patrol and ask for asylum and are 
given a court date. But there are other more dangerous ones, the type 
that are not subject to background checks and may be sneaking across 
the border with illegal drugs who we refer to as got-aways.
  Until last month, the all-time high for got-aways was around 59,000. 
In one month, we had a 23 percent jump to 73,000. That ought to be a 
banner headline in every newspaper across the country. And the fact 
that it is not, should make the entire Washington press corps ashamed 
of themselves.
