        AMERICANS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF FLAWED IMMIGRATION POLICY

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, Officer Brian Jackson loved his job. He had 
been a member of the Dallas Police Department since 2001. He moved to 
Dallas from his hometown in Rhode Island because he wanted to ``be a 
big city cop.''
  But in the early morning hours of last Sunday, the last 15 minutes of 
his shift, Officer Brian Jackson, 28, responded to one last call. His 
shift was basically over, but he agreed to answer one more emergency.
  It was not only his last call of the night, but it was his last call 
ever. Officer Jackson was responding to a domestic disturbance call 
when he was murdered, allegedly by an illegal alien from Mexico named 
Juan Lizcano.
  But this crime could have been avoided. This illegal alien had been 
arrested twice in the last year, but because of safe haven sanctuary 
laws in Dallas, he was never deported. Because of these preposterous 
laws, a dedicated police officer, husband, and friend lost his life.
  Officer Jackson and his newlywed wife had just returned from a 
delayed honeymoon in Hawaii.
  Americans are dying because the government does not protect our 
borders. This is yet another example of our Nation's flawed immigration 
policy. This ought not to be.
