                        AMERICANS NEED NOT APPLY

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, imagine a place where one can get a job with no 
identification, no references, no experience. You show up, and after a 
few hours, you walk away with hard cash in your pocket. No questions 
asked. You pay no taxes. You pay no Social Security. You pay no health 
coverage, and at the end of the day, somebody else pays for all of 
that.

  Welcome to your local day labor center funded by American tax 
dollars. Government money to get hoards of illegal day labor jobs with 
the help of your wallet. Provide that cheap plantation labor for 
businesses that exploit the law at the expense of real Americans.
  But these day laborers don't always work, Mr. Speaker. One in New 
York partied on cocaine and beer then beat, raped and murdered a woman 
after a subcontractor hired him to power wash her home. That Guatemalan 
had been illegally in the United States for 5 years. Another example of 
our government's failure to keep illegals out of America but provide 
them jobs while they are here.
  Mr. Speaker, whose side is our government on? Our government should 
be buying into America, not selling out to illegals.
  And that's just the way it is.
