                BANDITS, KINDERGARTEN AND BORDER PATROL

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, I bring you news from the third 
front--the war zone that is our southern border with Mexico.
  Violent behavior is reaching new lows in the Mexican border town of 
Juarez. Armed attackers busted into a kindergarten school and set it on 
fire.
  Why?
  Well, the criminal drug cartels found out the teachers in Juarez got 
a Christmas bonus, so they set up a new extortion racket. These outlaw 
banditos demanded a protection fee from the teachers to keep their 
students safe. When the teachers didn't pay up, armed attackers broke 
into the school and set it on fire.
  Juarez is the most violent city in all of Mexico, and the violent 
cartels are bringing the war to the United States. Just last night, 
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered by bandits in the border 
town of Rio Rico, Arizona. Our wide open borders are facilitating 
violence on both sides of the

border war zone. Meanwhile, the administration just whistles past the 
graveyard.
  And that's just the way it is.
