Of the abuse of kids through the internet and selling of kids through the internet. The answer is yes. We have prosecuted the people behind an outfit i think called redbook that was in california. We locked up the proprietor of it winning it, that shut down the site. We may have taken civil action to shut down the site, so yes we have. Followup. Since the online facilitated exploitation of children is evolving prioritized threat, what is, help me understand your allocation to that area of investigation. How does the internet crimes against Children Program fund fit into that . We have task forces that focus on this, i forget the number but more than my number of field offices so we have two in someplaces. We do this in every field office. We do operation i hope you heard of called operation Cross Country. I have. Great. It works with local partners to connect with the cyber stuff. A lot of ways we find people looking to exploit kids are through advertisements where we try to take down
Cosponsors. In order to look at the reality that not only does u. S. Have more prisoners per capita but we also have lengthy prison sentences and do not serve the cause of justice and allow us to have the resources to keep our communities safe. He has been an outspoken supporter of this bipartisan measure and i hope you would continue supporting it too although i wont put you on the spot to do so without giving you a chance to look at it. Let me add one other element. As chairman of the constitution we also had a hearing on solitary confinement. Turns out the United States prison system has more prisoners in solitary confinement than any other nation. We have testimony from those who have spent ten years on death row in solitary confinement in texas and even longer in the state of louisiana and were ultimately exonerated. They were not exonerated. They were not found to be guilty. It had is a devastating impact on the human mind and spirit where so many of these people who serve time i
Who would like to work and like to be a citizen, to demand that contrary to the laws of the United States . And when congress doesnt pass it is that a right that they are entitled to demand . Sir, i think that citizenship is privilege certainly a right for those of us born here. I think it is a privilege that has to be earned. With the panoply of civil rights recognized by jurisprudence i dont see one that youre describing. I certainly agree. Surprised it took you that long but the attorney general statement was breath taking to me. Peter curseneau commission of civil rights responded to that some sometime ago. He said, quote to equate amnesty for breaking immigration laws with civil rights betrays incoherent and ahistorical understanding of the Civil Rights Movement. Lawabiding, black citizens, of the nights United States were not seeking exemption from law. They were seeking application of such laws in the same manner that was applied to whites. Close quote.

Country by country. But you can see how the society as a whole is improved when conditions for women improve. And i think that everybodys winners. And one of the things that if when data like this exists it convinces more people that they should, in fact increase standards. And more men get involved the better. So were all for that. And i do think that we are stymied in some areas because we have made political controversy or made partisan really things that are no brainers that such as health care or trying to reduce Maternal Mortality.

It took us too long to reauthorize the violence against women act here in this country. We know that to have legislation like this helps fight violence against women. And everybody wins. So im hoping that we can through hard core data and knowing more about these issues there will be less partisanshi
