Political Quotes

“I rise today to urge our government to start enforcing our immigration laws dealing with alien smuggling. It is a felony, punishable by a minimum of 3 years in prison, to bring an alien into the United States for financial gain. These alien smugglers, also called ``coyotes,'' get approximately $1,500 per illegal immigrant smuggled into the U.S. On my recent trip to the Mexico border, Border Patrol agents in California told me they have arrested the same coyotes 20 times, but they are not prosecuted. The pathetic failure of the U.S. attorney in San Diego to prosecute alien smugglers who have been arrested 20 times is a demoralizing slap in the face to Border Patrol agents who risk their lives every day. This U.S. attorney has, however, recently prosecuted someone for selling a Mark McGwire baseball card with a forged signature. Here is a tip: Stop worrying about baseball cards and start worrying about our national security and enforcing our immigration laws. ____________________”
