                      LONE STAR VOICE: BILLY MINX

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, another Lone Star voice from my district. Billy 
Minx in Channelview, Texas, e-mailed me on Tuesday. This is what he had 
to say about those illegally in America:
  ``In the recent immigration protests; the first protests showed the 
true intent of the mass of these illegal immigrants. The overwhelming 
majority of the flags were Mexican flags. These people are loyal to 
Mexico. I have a neighbor down the street who is a naturalized U.S. 
citizen from Mexico, and he flat out told me if the U.S. and Mexico 
were at war with each other, he would fight for Mexico.
  ``We may be a Nation of immigrants, but the majority of Americans 
were born here and their parents were born here. My great, great, 
great, great, great Grandfather John C. Hale was killed at the Battle 
of San Jacinto in 1836 defeating Santa Anna and Mexico (and thus making 
Texas an independent country). He is one of nine Texans buried there on 
the battlefield.

  ``Now my elected officials want to simply hand Texas back to Mexico. 
It's a traitorous act what is about to happen in this Congress. I pray 
you will not be an accomplice.''
  Mr. Speaker, Congress has an obligation to prevent the illegal 
colonization of this Nation.
  And that's just the way it is.
