the speaker pro tempore: without objection. i would like to address house res. 461 and urge to pass it as quickly as possible. the federal government, perhaps inappropriately spends billions of dollars on elementary and secondary education. these buildings are designed and intended to be funded to teach the young children of this country and not so young people, to read and do math. it has been brought to our attention that local officials all around the country in an effort to ease the mass invasion of illegal immigrants are now using these schools as a shelter for people who in many cases should not come to the united states in the first place. i think it is very important that congress weigh in immediately since we are providing billions of dollars to these educational institutions and say no. these institutions are to be used for education only and not spend more of that money to support people who shouldn't be here in the first place. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek re
