Thread: Ted Poe Talks On House Floor re: Dep. Craig Miller

Deputy Craig Miller Killed By 'Foreign National' - Rep Ted Poe Makes Statement On House Floor
By Digger

Deputy Craig Miller, a 20 year veteran, was killed February 21, 2008 while working undercover. His SUV was struck by "a foreign national" whose "legal status is undetermined". Craig Miller sounds like a great guy and unfortunately he is another victim of our lax border controls.
Congressman Ted Poe made a statement on the House floor regarding this incident (From the Congressional record).

Mr. POE:
Mr. Speaker, the people of Houston, Texas, are in mourning today because they have lost another brave protector of our community.

While working undercover surveillance on February 21, Harris County sheriff deputy Craig Miller was killed when an 18-wheeler darted onto I-10 in Houston and recklessly drove across three lanes of the freeway crashing into Miller's SUV. Miller's vehicle became airborne, and he was fatally injured in the crash.

Narcotics Officer Miller was 43 years of age, married to Michelle and has two young children. Friends described him as a comedian that could have been a regular on Saturday Night Live. Deputy Miller grew up in Houston and attended Stratford High School. He enjoyed protecting and serving the people of the Houston area.

So as peace officers wear the black band of sacrifice across their badges in honor of Deputy Craig Miller, we remember that lawmen are all that separate civilization from the uncivilized. The driver of the 18-wheeler was charged with negligent homicide. He is a foreign national and his legal status is undetermined.

Deputy Miller is yet another recent death in a series of Houston area lawmen that have been killed by foreign nationals. Deputy Miller is a casualty of a weak, chaotic, and inconsistent and overbroad immigration policy
this country has.

And that's just the way it is.

Unfortunately, that is "just the way it is" and it needs to change. Our law enforcement should not have to be dealing with criminals in this country and criminals coming into our country from other countries. It is a comment I hear time and time again when illegal aliens commit crimes. "but what about the American criminals?". It is a straw man argument that states that because we have criminals already in our country we should be accepting of other criminals as well. We have enough criminals here, thank you very much, and we should do all that we can to ensure that we are not allowing even more to exist in this country through lax security and immigration enforcement.

Criminals are something that NO nation needs!

Even more reason to start our faxing and email campaign of victim of the week by illegal aliens. We need to get these articles to Poe, Sessions and our own representatives.


Please start a Sticky Thread for victims of illegal aliens so we can start sending them to the Senators and Congressmembers.

I wonder if the driver of the truck was a participant in the Mexico truck pilot program??? And the U.S. D.O.T. claims the Mexican truck drivers are safe???
