                        GIVE ILLEGALS A PACKAGE

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, two delivery services, UPS and FedEx, take a 
package and deliver it for a customer anywhere in a world in just a 
handful of days. Amazingly, a customer can even track one of those 23 
million packages on the Internet and know exactly where it is on any 
given day. Maybe the Federal Government could learn something here.
  The Federal Government doesn't seem to even know where 20 million 
illegals are in this country, much less track their whereabouts. A good 
example of how private industry works and the Federal Government does 
not.
  Anyway, it has been suggested that the way to solve the case of the 
missing illegals is to give every illegal that crosses into the United 
States a FedEx or UPS package. The package could contain items for 
their stay illegally in the United States. Then we could record when 
people enter the U.S. and know where they are at any given time.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a disgrace that the Federal Government can't 
handle border security any better than it does. The Feds owe it to the 
American citizens to come up with ways to stop the flow of illegals 
into the United States.
  And that's just the way it is.
