As a matter of homeland security, enforcing our immigration laws remains a top priority.              Before serving the 2nd Congressional District, Congressman Poe was a prosecutor and judge for 30 years in Houston , Texas .    Judge Poe was known for his creative sentencing of criminals and hard-nosed approach to enforcing the law.    For more info and to watch some of the Congressman’s speeches go to: http://poe.house.gov/.  It’s worth the click.
