                  RESTORE ORDER AND PROTECT TAXPAYERS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, two nights ago, I joined 
over 160 Republicans in protesting an unfair power play by the 
majority. Democrats chose to overturn a vote that would have stopped 
American taxpayer dollars from being given to illegal aliens.
  Republicans tried to amend a funding bill so illegal aliens did not 
receive Federal money under the legislation. Democrats had already 
extended taxpayer health insurance to illegal aliens. Republicans want 
to put a stop to this practice which will limit services to American 
citizens and benefit illegals who break our laws.
  I have had the honor of legislative service for 23 years in the State 
Senate and Congress, and I have never seen such an abuse of 
parliamentary rules. Republicans support strong border security and not 
new benefits for people who break the law.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th.
