I would like to work with the department and i think it would be a vital and important step forward. So let me thank you. The time of the gentleman has expired. Those two documents will be made a part of the record. Please go ahead mr. King. Thank you, i appreciate this hearing and also your testimony here and listening to your testimony as well. Listening about the i. C. E. Containers and the because for a minute. Can i have a clear time . Okay. Listening about it the i. C. E. Containers, that is how long have we been operating under the i. C. E. Detainers. They go back a long way. When i was a federal prosecutor 25 years ago we had immigration dictators. They were mandatory for a long time. How long has this been a problem in your testimony . He said that in the last year 12,000 i. C. E. Detainers were not responded to by local Law Enforcement, 12,000. Is that indicative of a problem that we have had over a 20 year period of time for a shortterm anomaly . I think that that number has
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. And in the short time since those 8000 were released, they have already committed more than 1900 new crimes. Why wouldnt you mandate influence, whatever it might be to honor detainers rather than to see this occur . Now, i have to say the department is not operating with clean hands. When they go to these communities and say, dont release 8000, because the Department Released 30,000 last year under their own procedures. Again, that helped to contribute to this growing list now of nearly 350,000 individuals who are either under deportation order or have deportation procedures pending who have been released and are out on our streets.

If this wasnt in front of me and ready for signature, we would end up having projects all across the country that would be frozen after mid. On the other hand, we have now made it a habit where instead of fiveyear funding plans for transportation and instead of longterm approaches where we can actually strategize on what are the most important infrastructure projects, how are they getting paid for, providing certainty to government norors and mayors and localities about how they are going to approach Critical Infrastructure projects roads, bridges ports, airports instead we operate as if were we hand them out three months at a time. 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
Little more complicated. The terrorist threat to the homeland from overseas that im concerned about is one that is making active efforts to recruit people in response to isils recruitment efforts. So weve been as you know very focused on that. I agree with the spirit of your question that violent extremism in this country can exist in a lot of different forms maam. Mr. Chairman may i ask to include these two documents in the record . May i put one sentence on the record . I thank you for your indulgence. As mr. Secretary, i implore you to consider domestic terrorism and i would like to work with the department to seriously add that to its broad agenda. I think it would be a vital and important step forward. Let me thank you for your service. A long runon sentence but well allow it. Thank you. Those two documents will be made a part of the record. The chair now recognizes the gentleman mr. King. I appreciate your testimony mr. Secretary. Listening to the testimony there we go. Listening
But with media stocks in a free fall, will the force be enough to save disney when it reports earnings next week . Well tell you how to cash in. The action begins right now. Lets get right to it. While stocks are at alltime highs, commodities are getting crushed. Crude, copper, gold, silver, all falling hard this week. What is it saying about the health of the global economy, what does it mean for the markets . In the money, dan . It is something that stuck out the last couple of weeks as the markets have really dated here near the previous alltime highs made on march 1st. To me one of the things thats interesting about this commodity move is also the weakness in the dollar that weve had over the same time period. All of a sudden now were seeing weakness in china, china equity markets. Weakness in commodities. A dollar thats not rallying. Rates that are stuck, not really signaling anything. Theyre not signaling the same things that the stock market is about to make a new alltime high.
