                   ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIME REPORTING ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Jones) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JONES of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to
the attention of the House the issue of illegal alien crime.

  As many of my colleagues are aware, over the past year crimes
committed by illegal aliens have been at the forefront of our national
media.

  In Los Angeles, an illegal alien has been charged with the March 2008
murder of a young athlete and scholar, Jamiel Shaw. Shaw was gunned
down outside his home in a senseless act of violence.

  In New Jersey, an illegal alien has been charged with the August 2007
execution-style slaying of three New York college students and the
shooting of another. This illegal alien suspect was previously granted
bail on child rape and aggravated assault charges.

  And in my home State of North Carolina, an illegal alien has been
charged with second degree murder for driving drunk and killing a 22-
year-old man in a car crash over last fall's Thanksgiving holiday.
 

While crimes like these are occurring all over the country, the
public has no way of knowing the extent of the problem.

This is because
the Federal Government and the States do not report statistical
information on criminal alien crimes. It is for this reason I have
introduced H.R. 6192, the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act.

  Last week, I sent a Dear Colleague letter to every Member of the
House to inform them of this legislation. The bill would require States
to submit in-depth statistics on illegal alien criminal activity in
order to receive funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

It would also require all Federal agencies to submit data on criminal
activity by illegal aliens.

And lastly, the bill would require the FBI
to compile this information and produce an annual publication similar
to its existing Uniform Crime Report with detailed statistics on
illegal alien crimes.

  Mr. Speaker, nothing is more important than the security of our
Nation and the safety of our citizens. I hope that my colleagues will
take the time to consider the issue of illegal alien crime and join us
as a cosponsor of the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act.
