                       OFFICER KEVIN WILL PAGE II

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, while Washington lives on in ignorant 
bliss regarding immigration, the American border remains wide open for 
the good, the bad, and the ugly. Often, outlaws that enter our country 
illegally are criminals with no respect for the law of any nation.
  This past Sunday, hours before the crack of dawn, twice-deported 
illegal Johoan Rodriguez drove through a police barricade and ran over 
and killed Houston Police Officer Kevin Will while he was working an 
accident scene.
  Rodriguez's immigration status was far from the only crime he 
committed that day. Rodriguez, a purported member of the MS-13 gang, 
was driving three times the legal limit drunk and was charged with 
driving while intoxicated, possession of cocaine, evading arrest, and 
manslaughter. The crime was so violent that Officer Will's body was 
dragged down the road before the killer stopped and was apprehended.
  Deportation is no deterrent to criminals like Rodriguez, because as 
long as our border remains wide open in both directions, criminals will 
simply return to the United States and kill Americans. Meanwhile, 
Officer Will will be buried today.
  And that's just the way it is.
