The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from South Carolina is recognized to close. Mr. Gowdy i want to thank chairman goodlatte for his leadership on this and so many issues of significance on the judiciary committee. His steady hand and brilliant legal mind. Mr. Speaker, i want to thank the family of kate steinle during this time of unspeakable grief. Bearing a child, mr. Speaker, is what each of us who has ever been called mom or dad, fears the most. After Trayvon Martin was killed, the president said that could have been my son, mr. Speaker. And when i see a picture of a beautiful kate steinle smiling, that could have been any of our daughters. And it still can be because what happened to her, mr. Speaker, can and will happen again if we do not get serious about enforcing the law. John francisco lopezsanchez had a quarter centurys worth of lawlessness. He committed local state and federal crimes in five separate states. And each time had so little regard for the law of this country t
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 hr422 for the relief of corina and hr396 for the relief of Maria Ramirez and jay rojas.

Would you like to make comments . I would just note you have correctly stated the matter and we are of one mind
Enforcement service for immigrants, or been shown to increase the likelyhood more people will report crimes. They destroy the trust of the community at large that the laws will be enforced to preserve the quality of life for all. Despite the widespread public outrage at the San Franciscos sheriffs policies that caused the release of the man who went on to kill kate steinle. It is clear some jurisdictions will not budge from the policy and to make matters worse the Obama Administration new priority enforcement project explicitly allows jurisdictions to avoid ice and establishes the entire country as a sanctuary by restricting the ability of i. C. E to remove illegal aliens. Congress needs to stb that local Law Enforcement agencies will have cooperation in good faith and sanctions for those jurditions for those that continue to cooperate and by reversing the Obamas Administration nonenforcement policy. Thank you very much. Thank you ms. Vaughn. Chief dill . Chairman gowdy, Ranking Member
