                           IMMIGRATION CRISIS

  (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, last week, the Spartanburg 
Herald-Journal published an editorial from the Colorado Springs Gazette 
titled: ``Immigration Crisis: Securing Border is Key to Stemming Flow 
of Children.''
  Extraordinary points are made in the editorial:

       Failure to secure the southern border, combined with 
     careless messaging by President Barack Obama, has made the 
     United States an attractive nuisance. The fiasco at the 
     southern border is far more than a political dilemma.

       Obama needs to get this under control, letting Latin 
     Americans know in no uncertain terms that the United States 
     cannot and will not host unattended children who illegally 
     cross the border. We cannot continue putting these youths in 
     danger, and we can't afford to resolve their collective 
     plight.
       The lives of helpless children rest in the balance.

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