                      ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INVASION

  (Mr. ROHRABACHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, our current immigration policies and 
political rhetoric broadcast to people around the world that they can 
come here illegally without consequence. In fact, if they do, they will 
be rewarded for it. We send this message, and then we act surprised 
when an illegal immigration invasion into our country skyrockets.
  A growing crisis at our southern border sees tens of thousands of 
children being abandoned at our doorstep. Their parents miscalculated. 
They heard someone talk about the DREAM Act and thought their children 
would be taken care of.
  Ultimately, this crisis was brought on by Democrats and Republicans 
who have advocated granting legal status to those people who are here 
illegally, especially in terms of the so-called ``DREAMers.''
  While most of those advocating such policies have good motives and 
good hearts, they have unintentionally created a humanitarian and 
bureaucratic crisis that our government is not equipped to handle.
  I say we should send them home. The children and those who have come 
here illegally need to be sent home, whether they are adults or 
children.
