recognized. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support
00:06
of H.R. 875 that Jeremy and Angel C. and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza protect our communities from
00:14
DUI's Act of 2025. This piece of legislation is crucial to restoring common sense to our
00:21
nation's judicial system. Over the past four years, the Biden administration has allowed
00:26
millions of undocumented immigrants to pour into our country. Along with zero oversight
00:31
and accountability for the crisis, the Biden administration allowed illegal immigrants to
00:35
stay in the country, even after committing horrible crimes. This piece of legislation
00:41
would give the courts the ability to deport illegal aliens from America and borrow them
00:47
from re-entry if they are convicted of a DUI or a DUI-related charge. This issue hits home
00:54
for me. In my district, a 15-year-old girl and her grandmother were killed, killed by an illegal
01:03
alien who was driving drunk. This was a terrible, avoidable tragedy, and sadly, true justice was not
01:11
served. The assailant only received 15 years per death and will be out to roam free in America by
01:19
the time he is 67 years old. Madam Speaker, this was in Nahuna, Georgia, in Brantley County, in my district.
01:26
I met with the grandmother, the other grandmother of this child, who shared with me the grief that this
01:37
family has gone through since that time. There's no reason, no reason at all, that this should have
01:45
happened. There's no reason for the American taxpayer to have to fund the incarceration of this person or
01:52
any other programs to help him get back on the streets of Georgia. Though my example is the worst
01:59
outcome possible, illegal aliens should not be able to stay in America with a minor penalty for driving
02:04
under the influence in the first place. This legislation would close this loophole, and I thank the
02:10
gentlemen for Alabama for doing this, for bringing this forward. It would close that loophole that
02:16
allows illegal aliens to get off lightly when committing fatal acts such as vehicular manslaughter
02:21
under the influence. I urge my colleagues to vote in support of this legislation to help bring back
02:27
common sense to our immigration and legal systems after these four years of pure chaos.
02:33
Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I yield back.
02:38
Madam Speaker, I reserve.
