                   REJECT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS

  (Mr. CULBERSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Speaker, as Members of Congress return home for 
the Memorial Day weekend, as we honor the sacrifices of our men and 
women who have given their lives in defense of our Nation and of its 
values, I hope that every American will remind their elected 
representatives that in honoring that sacrifice, our elected 
representatives have an obligation to uphold the rule of law, to 
preserve our borders and to preserve this Nation's financial security 
for the future.
  In so doing, every American ought to demand that their elected 
representatives reject this monstrous amnesty bill, which proposes to 
legalize 14 to 20 million illegal aliens, honoring those who have 
broken our laws, threatening the financial security of the Nation by 
more rapidly bankrupting Social Security and all of our financial 
social welfare programs, and driving this Nation more rapidly towards 
that financial brick wall which is so rapidly approaching.
  In my office, 100 percent of the phone calls received have been in 
strong opposition to this bill. Every other Member of Congress from the 
Republican side that I have visited has received equally strong 
opposition.
  I think it is vitally important for Americans to rise up, as we did 
in the Dubai ports deal, and demand that our elected representatives 
honor the sacrifices of our fallen soldiers by rejecting this mass 
amnesty bill over the Memorial Day break.
