Are the largest jurisdiction. The overwhelming number have indicated a willingness to work with us. Chairman goodlatte of the 276 socalled sanctuary cities, where they have probably taken a position to not cooperate with lester, criminal aliens were released by those communities onto the streets of their communities and of this country.

Which freezes a lot of construction, which makes people uncertain, which leads to businesses, not being willing to hire because they dont have any longterm certainty. Its a bad way for the u. S. Government to do business. So, i want to make sure that before i sign this, Congress Gets a clear message. That is we should not be leaving all the business of the
Good morning. I call this business meeting to order. I have been informed that no democrats will be in attendance this morning in an effort to intentionally delay and obstruct the nomination of attorney general scott pruitt to be the administrator of the Environmental Protection agency. It is a disappointing turn of events. But lets review some history. On january 20th, 1993, january 21st, 1993, epa administrator nominee Carol Browner under democrat president bill clinton was confirmed by the senate. This is one day after he took office. On january 30th, 2001, epa administrator nominee Christie Todd whitman under george w. Bush was confirmed by the full senate. On january 22nd, 2009, epa administrator nominee lisa jackson, under democrat president barack obama was confirmed by the full senate, two days after he took office.
