                    AMERICAN VOICE: ERNEST FICHTNER

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, we have seen the protests of illegals who 
have colonized our Nation, parading through our streets, trying to 
intimidate America.
  But they are not alone. Their shouts and demands are being met by a 
silent revolution. Countless native citizens and naturalized citizens 
are demanding to be heard as well. Their voice is being echoed across 
these lands.
  Ernest Fichtner writes: ``My heart goes out to the Mexican people who 
look north for a chance at life and liberty. But this problem sits 
squarely in the lap of Vicente Fox and his corrupt government.
  ``We are a Nation of laws and institutions. If the laws are not 
vigorously enforced, we are left with anarchy and open borders. . . .
  ``If America does the hard work now, the border integrity of this 
country will never again be subject to attack, not only from without 
but from within.''
  Madam Speaker, we are a Nation of American citizens, not illegal 
invaders, not lawbreakers, not tax dodgers, not transients.
  This land is our land. This land is not Vicente Fox's land. The last 
thing we need is amnesty anarchy.
  And that's just the way it is.
