mr. culberson: my good friend from arizona, the county treasurer from maricopa county in arizona, pointed out you experienced costs to your local taxpayers of $1.3 billion a year because of the cost of undumonted illegal ail yeps in maricopa county. in my work on the homeland security appropriations subcommittee, i've discovered that the federal government is only prosecuting about 15% of the illegal aliens entering the country in the tucson sector system of 85% of those that they even catch are released. and either return voluntarily across the border so they come right back, and there's wildly different levels of enforcement up and down the border. the people of the united states, all of us, particularly in the state of texas, which i'm proud to represent, the importance of a healthy relationship with mexico. the importance of a guest worker program that allows people to come and go freely with our number two trading partner in the world, canada is our number one trading partner, mexico is our number two trading partner. we need a healthy back-and-forth relationship with our friend in m
