                 ADMINISTRATION GIVES FALSE IMPRESSION

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, one day after the administration 
announced that President Obama would send National Guard troops to 
secure the border, the State Department announced that--surprise--the 
Guard troops would not be used to stop illegal immigration. This 
suggests the National Guard announcement was designed to leave 
Americans with a false impression that the administration was going to 
strengthen border security.
  There appears to be a contradiction within the administration; we 
don't know who to believe from one day to the next. We are starting to 
learn on health care, on taxes, on transparency, on the stimulus, and 
now on immigration policy that the administration's words are seldom 
what they appear to be.
