Violence and harassment complaints. We must do more to protect students and equip universitys to prerespond appropriately to Sexual Assault on campus. This amendment will allow more institutions of Higher Education to implement comprehensive, coordinated responses to Sexual Violence through the Campus Grant Program. The Campus Grant Program was created by the violence against women act of 2005 and reauthorized by the violence against women reauthorization of 2013, a bill which i worked hard to help pass.

The clerk amendment offered by mr. King of iowa, page 22, line 6 after the dollar amount insert reduced by 5 million, increased by 5 million. The chair the gentleman from iowa is recognized for five minutes. Mr. King thank you, madam chair. First id like to reiterate the statement made by the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, mr. Goodlatte, and my appreciation of the service of mr. Wolf of virginia and the job hes done in my years here and beyond. As a member of the Judiciary Committee and this congress, i appreciate frank wolfs contribution to the well being of this country and the well being of justice and compassion around the world hes nonstraited. The amendment that i offer this evening, madam chair is an amendment that calls upon the department of justice to use 5 million from the general Administrative Fund to investigate the discretionary enforcement decisions of the department of Homeland Security concerning their release of, and ill go through a series of these numbers that catch my attention and should alarm americans. For 2013. Potentially deportable aliens, i. C. E. Encountered 722,000. They only charged 195,000. That means they released 527,000 potentially deportable aliens. And of the criminal ail generals aliens they encountered, they released 68,000 criminal ail generals, that was 35 of the criminal ail general aliens they encountered. 68,000 released. Thats with no charges, madam chair. Some will say thats under the daca provisions. I wail say the president has no Constitutional Authority to create groups of people exempt from the law. Daca, standing for deferred action for criminal aliens in this case, madam chair. Its not prosecutorial discretion. T of 780,000 aliens on the streets, theyre on the docket for removal but theyre on the streets. Convicted of crimes, the variety of crimes from murder, kidnap, arson, Sexual Assault, extortion, burglary, assault and many others. We know this, that for a long period of time, about 15 years, on average, 76 of these criminals released are do not show up for their final removal hearing. That means 27,000 of the 36,000 will abscond. The administration will say, we had to release these criminals, these murderers and Sexual Assaulters and kidnappers, we had to release them because of a Supreme Court decision in about 2001 because of a Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court held we couldnt retain an individual who was being deported when the home country wouldnt accept that individual but thats only ,000 of the 36,000 that would be under the zavidas decision. The other 9 could have and should have been removed if this country. 193 homicide convictions, of the 36,000. So when the gentlelady from sconsin laments the thousand deported today, more often every other day, theres a murderer released on the streets from this policy out of the department of Homeland Security and i. C. E. My request is that 5 million from this administrative budget be directed to investigating the actions of the department of Homeland Security and coming back with an analysis of whats going on and why we have so many criminals release odd then streets of america. 193,000 murderers in one year alone, 426,000 who committed Sexual Assault, 303 kidnapping convictions, 1,0 5 aggravated assaults, 16,000 or 17,000 drugged or drunk drivers released. 303 released who have been convicted of flight escape. They broke out of jail, convicted of breaking out of jail, put back in jail, released to save them the trouble of releasing them of breaking out of jail again. These are things i would ask the department of justice to look into. Their mission is to enforce the law, control prime and control crime and seek punishment for those who violate the laws. Its de facto amnesty going on in the department of Homeland Security. Ts very consistent with the department of justice statement that they look into these actions. I dont lament 1,000 deportations a day as i do 193 murderers turned loose in a year and i would point out to the gentlelady that if the deportations in this country exceeded the illegal entries, we wouldnt have this issue of illegal immigration in america system of i urge toppings of my amendment and i would yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman from iowa yields back. For what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition . Mr. Fattah move to strike the requisite number of words. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Fattah i thank the gentleman from iowa for offering this amendment. I oppose it and i would hope we would usher in a day in which the house would take up comprehensive Immigration Reform the president has acted, the senate has acted, the peoples house should vote on this matter so that we can come to some conclusion on these issues. Were not going to handle it in a piecemeal fashion but i think that its clear that there are theres enough concern in our country, chamber of commerce says we need to do Immigration Reform, every responsible organization has spoken out on this, owl our religious leaders have spoken out. The United States congress has the responsibility not to run from this issue but to stand up and vote and be counted and i hope one day that the gentleman from iowa will have an opportunity to vote on comprehensive Immigration Reform and i hope that the people in my district will have a chance to see me vote on this. The house should not delay any longer. This is an appropriations bill, were not in the business of Immigration Reform on this bill, were just trying to run the bare bones of the United States government and i hope one day well come back to this issue appropriately and i yield back the remainder of my time. The chair the gentleman from pennsylvania yields back. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from iowa. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. The amendment is agreed to. Mr. King i ask for a recorded vote. The chair pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceed option the amendment offered by the gentleman from iowa will be postponed. For what purpose does the gentleman from the gentlelady from california seek recognition . Madam chair, i have an amendment at the desk. The chair the clerk will report the amendment. The clerk amendment offered by ms. Brownlee of california. Page 22, line 6 after the dollar amount, insert reduced i by 1 million. Page 44, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert increased by 1 million. Page 48, line 11, after the dollar amount, insert increased by 1 million. The chair the gentlewoman from california is recognized for five minutes. Ms. Brown lee thank you, ma ms. Brownlee thank you, madam chair. I rise to offer an amendment to h. R. 4660 which would increase funding for veteran treatment courts. Our nations heros are returning home from over a decade of war with the invisible wounds that come with multiple deployments and military service to our nation. I am concerned that the effects of posttraumatic stress and t. B. I. Have led to a rise in Substance Abuse among our veterans which in turn too often leads to criminal activity. This has led to an increase in veterans being incarcerated by our Justice System without addressing the Mental Health counseling they need after their service to our country. My simple amendment will increase funds for veterans treatment courts by 1 million. Treatment courts are designed to address fundamental problems with our troubled veterans who have succumbed to Substance Abuse and have gotten in trouble with the law. These courts are designed to provide Mental Health cunling that focuses on counseling that focuses on rehabilitation and sobriety and works with veterans to address the reasons for their criminal behavior. Veterans treatment courts provide our veterans with longterm solutions versus shortterm punishment. In january, i visited a veterans treatment in Ventura County. They are doing an amazing job with a team of professionals really, truly saving one life at a time and providing a last chance for our veterans. Rather than arresting and jailing veterans for a few days or weeks, only to return them to the same type of life, the Ventura CountyCollaborative Court connects veterans to needed treatment and services. Mental health care, drug and alcohol treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other life skills, services and programs. The process begins with a guilty plea and in court and a Court Meeting involving the veteran, his or her attorney and a v. A. Representative. I was very impressed with the care that the Court Officers and volunteers extend to veterans who found themselves before the court. In Ventura County, judge white has been a champion of the Veterans Court and has put together a very successful and effective program. However, the Ventura County court is one example of many of a veterans treatment court. I believe we need to increase federal resources to these critical programs nationwide which is what my amendment seeks to accomplish. It is our obligation to ensure our veterans receive the appropriate attention to their needs and that we do whatever we can to help them transition to an independence civilian life. I strongly urge my colleagues to support my amendment, to rehabilitate veterans who have gotten in trouble with the law and help them secure a strong future. Madam chair, i yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentlewoman from california yields back. For what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition . Mr. Wolf strike the requisite number of words. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Wolf this is a good amendment. We accepted mr. Nugents amendment earlier, i think for 2 million and we accept this amendment. I urge a yes vote. I yield back. The chair the question is on amendment offered by the gentlewoman from california. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair the ayes have it. The amendment is agreed to. For what purpose does the gentleman from West Virginia seek recognition . Madam chair, i have an amendment at the desk. The clerk the chair the clerk will report the amendment. The clerk amendment offered by mr. Mckinley of West Virginia. Page 22 line 6, after the dollar amount insert reduced by 1,200. By 1,500,000. Page 22, line 12, after the dollar amount insert mr. Mckinley let me join in before my remarks to thank chame wolf and Ranking Member fattah and their staffs for all the hours you put in here tonight. I sat here and listened to all these amendments. I appreciate the patience you exhibited through this. Madam chairman, this amendment many Small Businesses around the country are struggling to compete against unfair, lowpriced foreign imports. They are intimidated by the cost of the legal challenge to push back. The intent and purpose of this amendment is simple. It transfers 1. 5 million to the International Trade commission to provide legal and Technical Assistance to Small Businesses seeking a remedy. Time and time again Small Businesses are losing business against unfair, lowcost imports that flood this country. Something needs to be done. Small businesses need help. They dont have access to the same Legal Resources as larger companies. And cant afford the costs to file a claim against large state supported Industries Like we find in china. In West Virginia we have one particular company which manufactures glass leadfree marbles. The company has less than 50 employees, but they have asked our office a very simple question when the average cost to file an antidumping claim is between 1 million and 2 million, how can a Small Manufacturer afford access to justice . The federal government provides probono attorneys in criminal cases for those who cant afford representation. Why not offer something similar to our Small Businesses facing unfair dumping competition . On two occasions last year this particular company had the opportunity to bid on significant contracts that would have allowed it to hire back laid off workers plus add an additional 20 people. Both times the company was knocked out by questionable chinese competition. A recent contract was offered for 300 marbles per year, 300 million marbles per year. That contract would have guaranteed 300 days of production for hardworking americans. Again, the Chinese Company undercut them unfairly. Unfortunately we have seen this story before with chinese currency manipulation and state subsidies that have crushed our tin, rebar, and rolled steel. Among others. The i. T. C. Must have the tools to protect our Small Businesses and this amendment is a step in the right direction. Lets be clear, madam chairman. Do we want to keep talking about jobs or do we want to do something about it . Supporting this amendment will be an immense help for small employers in fighting back against unfair trade. I yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman from West Virginia yields back. For what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition . Mr. Wolf strike the requisite number of words. The chair the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. Mr. Wolf i rise in strong support of this amendment. The gentleman from West Virginia is exactly right. One of the frustrating things many of these chinese stateowned companies, keep in mind in china there are 24 catholic bishops under house arrest. Nobody seems to care. Big law firms in washington that represent the chinese government. Nobody seems to care. They have plundered tibet and yet American Companies have to go up against an American Law Firm paid for by chin
