43 of those correlate to the time of those takata manufacturing concerns. And to our regret, all four fatalities correspond to that same time. So were talking about recalls that were done 2008 to 2011 because of different manufacturing issues that takata made us aware of, and is pretty strong data that shows this is where the majority of the problems have been occurring, and those recalls were national i understand. I wasnt saying they were regionally limited. Its just, you have recall after recall after recall, when clearly theres these red flags. And the reason it matters so much to this constituent, who is permanently blind, is this was in 2013. It just seems that its a different manufacturer, but if takata had done a more global look at what was happening, and by global, i mean, in all their air bags, i dont think this would have happened. So i think to you, that is on november 6th, a New York Times article reported that takata secretly conducted tests in 2004 at your auburn hills
He doesnt get to do that. Okay. Now his own dhs secretary, jay johns Johns Johnson stated it to enforce a duly enacted constitutional law thats beyond simple prosecutorial discretion. I think that the a least three of our witnesses believe the president has crossed that line. Could you be more specific and let me start with mr. Dupree. Thank you. I think secretary johnson is correct when he says there is a line. I think in this case the president not only crossed the line but that line is far, far, far in the distance. Thats kind of like the line he drew on syria. Right . I think that is an apt analogy. Thank you. I dont know that the constitution requires a certain number of people beyond which he could not grant deferred action to. I dont think the constitution speaks to that degree my time is limited. Im just going to quote very quickly from the opinion quoted by members of this committee and some of the witnesses and that is the cheney opinion. This is the part thats conveniently i
Who express whether the president has Legal Authority to issue the order. This is three hours, 40 minutes. Good afternoon, this hearing of the Judiciary Committee will come to order. Without objection, the committee has authorized us to take this mornings hearing on president obamas executive overreach on immigration. U ill begin by recognizing myself for an Opening Statement. I also want to point out to the members and to the audience in attendance today, youre all welcome to be here, but rule 11 of the house rules provides that the chairman of the committee may punish breaches of order and decor rum by censure and exclusion from the hearing. President obama has Just Announced one of the biggest congressional power grabs ever by a president. He has declared unilaterally that by his own estimation, almost 5 million unlawful immigrants will be free from the consequences of their lawless actions. Not only that, he will in addition bestow on them work permits and other benefits. And presi
Fully to our society. Reasonable minds might disagree on the politics or whether this is even real good policy. But what issen deniable is that the status quo is wholly unacceptable. Lupita, the brave 13yearold who is in the audience today, understands the psychological trauma the threat of deportation can cause. I met her over eight years ago when her father was detained in a large Los Angelesarea raid. During the years that followed, lupita suffered and struggled. Most americans understand that u. S. Citizens like lupita need their parents to help them grow. The president s actions are good news for lupita and her little sister. Because her mother isabel who is also here today should qualify under this new Deferred Action Program. Every daughter needs their mother. And our nations laws should support Strong Families rather than rip them apart. What is truly at stake here today is the fight for the sole of our nation. Are we going to continue ripping parents away from their children .
Substantial commitments. We made five years to the Domestic Violence hot line. What is the amount of those commitments . I think its 4 to 5 million a year. You have made a commitment to the national Domestic Violence hot line. Would you be willing to make commitments of the same or comparable size to other organizations that do similar kinds of work . I cannot make that commitment today. Who can make that commitment . I want to make sure were trying to get the rest of the members in, so your time is expired. Who can make that commitment . Thats something we discuss with our entire team. Who are those leading organizations, the organizations at grass root level that need the support to support our families, to support nfl personnel. So thats a collective decision that was made for us to support the national Domestic Violence hot line and the National Sexual assault resource center. Thank you very much. Senator booker . I just want to thank the Ranking Member for we should be revisiting
