“more news from the front. The border war continues, and today this dispatch comes from the weakest 272 miles on the second border of our Nation. This could be a postcard from that front, snapshots of illegals all across the beaches here running ashore, coming from this boat called a yola. We see here a Blackhawk helicopter. This invasion started in one Caribbean island and lands on another Caribbean island. This boat is packed with hundreds of illegals. They ride the waves that carry them to a new existence in these primitive boats. They wash ashore on the most advanced country in the world, a superpower. Mr. Speaker, this looks like a naval invasion from World War II in one the Pacific islands. This boat was spotted by the Border Patrol, and even though there may be 100 or 150 individuals that are illegally entering Puerto Rico, only 10 to 12 of them will actually be arrested. Sometimes the Border Patrol is not this lucky and doesn't find any of these individuals. I have spoken to border agents who patrol Puerto Rico, and they have arrested individuals. Recently they arrested an individual of Middle Eastern descent. He was actually swimming ashore. And when he was questioned about what he was doing on American soil, he replied with answers like, ``Allah is great,'' and, ``Bush is the devil,'' and that is all he would say. Stories like this prove the same warfare that let us conquer the Japanese islands in World War II is in play on our shores.…”
