undocumented immigrants. now that house hearing. it is about two hours. the immigration subcommittee will come to order. i want to start this morning with a matter of requesting reports from department of homeland security for the potential beneficiaries of hr-422 for the relief of corina and hr-396 for the relief of maria ramirez and jay rojas. from the immigration service and the department of homeland subcommittee report on the beneficiary bill u.s. immigration and custom enforcement removes the aliens and i will support requesting the beneficiary on these two private bills if they find no derog derogtory information. the committee has approved and passed these bills in the past but they didn t come to law. one bill grants permanent residents to a couple with children who cannot be treated out of outside of the united states. the other is coming to take care of her husband. would you like to make comments? i would just note you have correctly stated t ....
target them. we can come up with objective way to define what a sanctuary is. and i think it should be a jurisdiction that does not comply with all detainers all of the time for all types of people who are removable whether they ve committed serious crimes or not. and i do think that the policies of the obama administration in enabling sanctuary jurisdictions and greatly restricting what i.c.e. agents can do despite the plain language of the law also ought to be given attention through legislation through congress. we know that the administration is not going to make an effort. they ve said as much. they re not going to address this on their own. congress needs to reassert its constitutional authority over these matters. chief during your testimony you commented that resources are finite. it s difficult for the police departments to balance the different needs. and the federal immigration laws on some level are a distraction perhaps in balancing all of the different d ....

what are your thoughts when we hear sang ware city proponents are more likely i ve reviewed a lot of literature on this. and there is no evidence that immigrants are any more or less likely to commit crimes than anyone else. that s not the relevant question. the question is what do we do with that fraction of the immigrant population that is committing crimes that has committed crimes how do we and that s where i.c.e. needs the cooperation of local law enforcement agents because it s the local agencies who know the problems. thank you very much. chair recognizes gentleman from illinois for his questions. my deepest sympathies to the family. her death is a senseless tragedy. i have two daughters of my own and as a father, i can t imagine the pain that our parents are going through. i am truly very sorry for your loss. i am often criticized by my supporters that i don t have a soft spot for violent criminals. many argue that old convictions on drunk driving shou ....
