WHO SHOULD BE DEPORTED Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 27 (Monday, February 9, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 27 (Monday, February 9, 2026)] [House] [Page H2085] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] WHO SHOULD BE DEPORTED (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, if you were paying attention since we last met, more and more politicos or officials are weighing in on who should be deported to our southern border. I want to emphasize that the American people have to stand up and say that if you are coming here illegally, you should be deported. There are some people I think are apparently for limited amnesty or no immigration laws at all and say we should only be deporting people who have broken the law. Obviously, that would mean that if the only law you have broken is coming here in the first place, probably 98 or 99 percent of the 8 million people who entered under Joe Biden would be able to stay. I implore ICE to deport people who are here illegally. If they want to single out somebody in addition to the worst of the worst on criminal behavior, they can go after people getting public benefits, which is also illegal, and they should be removed immediately. Mr. Speaker, in any event, we should enforce our laws. ____________________
