Mr. KING of Iowa (for himself, Mr. GALLEGLY, Mr. BARLETTA, Mr. GOH-

ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
To support the goals and ideals of the National Day of 
Remembrance of Victims of Illegal Aliens. 
Whereas it is an affront to the safety and security of citizens 
of the United States to continue to ignore the growing 
threat of violent crime to such citizens posed by criminal 
aliens; 
Whereas, according to the Government Accountability Office, 
there have been 25,064 homicide arrests of criminal 
aliens since 1955; 
Whereas, according to the Government Accountability Office, 
there were 52,929 criminal aliens incarcerated in Federal

•HRES 461 IH 
Whereas, in an analysis by the Government Accountability 
Office of criminal aliens, 50 percent of those criminal 
aliens were arrested at least once for either assault, 
homicide, robbery, a sex offense, or kidnapping; 
Whereas there are no detailed statistics available to measure 
the number of rapes, robberies, terrorist threats, and 
other crimes committed against people in the United 
States by illegal aliens; 
Whereas these crimes against Americans are preventable if 
the Federal Government were to secure our borders, re-
move illegal aliens, require use of the E-Verify Program, 
and deny Social Security and other welfare benefits to il-
legal aliens; 
Whereas it is time for America to mourn the thousands of 
unnecessary and preventable deaths that occur at the 
hands of illegal aliens; and 
Whereas the victims of illegal alien crime deserve recognition 
and remembrance: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of a National 
Day of Remembrance of Victims of Illegal Aliens; 
and 
(2) calls for a moment of silence for the victims 
of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens in re-
membrance thereof across the United States of 
America.

Supporting the goals and ideals of American Education

Whereas the National Education Association has designated

Whereas public schools are the backbone of the Nation’s de-
mocracy, providing young people with the tools they need 
to maintain the Nation’s precious values of freedom, civil-
ity, and equality; 
Whereas by equipping young people in the United States with 
both practical skills and broader intellectual abilities, 
public schools give them hope for, and access to, a pro-
ductive future;
