                      WRONG SIGNAL ON IMMIGRATION

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Post and Courier of 
Charleston, South Carolina, presented an editorial last Tuesday 
correctly revealing the wrong signal on immigration. The opinion 
states:

       Central American children have entered the United States in 
     large numbers in recent weeks. Their mass entry has also 
     produced another political obstacle to passing comprehensive 
     immigration reform legislation. Opponents of the initiative 
     reasonably point out that this is the latest border problem 
     as additional evidence of the Obama administration's lack of 
     credibility on the issue. Numerous Republican lawmakers have 
     cited, as a motivating factor of this incoming tide of 
     humanity, President Barack Obama's executive edict deferring 
     deportations. And their continuing migration into our country 
     strengthens the assumption that the President has no 
     intention of fulfilling its pledge to bolster border 
     security. Clearly, if the President and other advocates of 
     sweeping immigration reform are serious about moving one 
     through Congress, Federal border enforcement must be 
     intensified.

  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
