                         OUTRAGE ON THE BORDER

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, on the desolate Arizona-Mexico board last week, 
a border agent was apprehending seven illegals when a fight broke out 
at the scene. The border agent shot one of the illegals. The Mexican 
Government, in its self-righteous arrogance and without knowing any of 
the facts, has already condemned the border agent.
  President Calderon, like Generalisimo Fox before him, is partly 
responsible for this incident. Why? Because his government encourages 
illegals to sneak into America. The blood of the dead is on the hands 
of the Mexican Government.
  Meanwhile, back in Texas, a criminal illegal from Mexico, having been 
deported several times, is charged with the murder of a Houston police 
officer by shooting him in the back. Don't hear much outrage and 
protest from President Calderon on this case. Why not? President 
Calderon needs to quit blaming the U.S. for problems he is responsible 
for in Mexico because his people are fleeing Mexico's third-world 
environment. He needs to quit encouraging illegals to go to America. He 
needs to quit making his problem our problem; otherwise, more Americans 
and Mexicans will continue to die on the border.
  And that's just the way it is.
