HUMBLE, TX – Congressman Ted Poe
(TX-02) spoke to the Baytown Kiwanis Thursday at their monthly
meeting. Congressman Poe spoke to the full house about border
security, off shore drilling, the elimination of the “Death
Tax” and the War on Terror.
“I believe that it is important for Members of Congress
to witness events first hand,” said Poe. “I
was one of two Members of Congress to be in Iraq on their
first election day and had the opportunity to visit with
our troops on the ground. They are confident in what they
are doing and contrary to what you see in the mainstream
media, we are winning the war.”
Congressman Poe also took questions form the group which
largely referred to border security and illegal immigration.
“Our government doesn’t have the moral will
to enforce our borders,” said Poe. “I have been
to the Texas/Mexico border five times and spoken directly
to the border sheriffs and residents there. We have a serious
security issue there and lawlessness on our border breeds
lawlessness in our country.” Congressman Poe pointed
to recent legislation passed by Congress to respond to the
public outcry for immediate border enforcement and pledged
to continue to be an outspoken advocate on this issue.
