On a humanitarian basis with whats happening, you have to. Its living in hell in syria, no question about it, theyre living in hell. Are you saying absolutely people from syria, the middle east, should we allow any of them into this country . Look, from a humanitarian standpoint, id love to help but we have our own problems. We have so many problems that we have to solve. Most recently, on whether president george w. Bush lied to get us into the iraq war. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none, and they knew there were none. I dont know if he lied or not, he could have lied. Maybe he did. Maybe he didnt. I guess youd have to ask him. And there are many other examples. How is any of this telling it like it is . On afghanistan, i did mean iraq. I think you have to stay in afghanistan for a while because of the fact youre right next to pakistan which has Nuclear Weapons and we have to protect that. Nuclear weapons change the game. And i was always aga
The department of Homeland Security to get us to march. That is, in my judgment, a very bad idea for Homeland Security. Because, during that period of a c. R. We cannot engage in new starts. Weve got some Homeland Security priorities that need to be funded now. For example, were back in a president ial election cycle. I cannot hire new secret Service Agents until i get an appropriations bill passed by this congress. Not another c. R. For a couple of months. I cannot continue to fund our enhanced detention capability in texas with another c. R. That gets me to march. I need the help of congress to support and build upon Border Security, which i believe all of you support. So, im urging that we act on our current appropriations request now for the for the purpose and for the sake of Border Security and Homeland Security. Thank you, mr. Secretary, for those direct answers. I yield back. Chair recognizes miss miller from michigan. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman. Good morning, mr. Secret
The region, senior fellow for the wilkins center. Thank you very much for being here. Guest my pleasure. Host what is motivating Vladimir Putin and his response . He has committed russia to direct and indirect support of these groups. Clearly evidence is mounting that these rebel groups are responsible for the downing of this plane. I dont think that he wants to abandon his rebels, the rebel groups, but at the same time he cant admit to any kind of direct support of these groups. So, he is walking a very thin line. One anticipates that his current strategy of denying involvement is the one that he will pursue until the time that this crisis begins host to die down in the headlines. Host the headline this morning from the wall street journal, pressure on Vladimir Putin. Europe, departing from their initial reactions as anger grew across the continent over the attack guest right. I think that the reaction on the ground has further anger the europeans and World Opinion as to what is going
Denied as fraudulent. 93 1993nd 1990 world trade bombers exploited the amnesty law. What are you going to do to verify that these people are not fraudulently entering the country, including what could be security threats to the country . Congressman, that is something that i am also concerned about. Fraudulent applications have the potential to undermine the whole process. In the implementation, in the planning for the ample mentation, i want to be sure that we take a hard look at best practices to avoid fraudulent applications, fraudulent misuse of the program. That is a priority of mine. We look forward to working with you on that. The chair recognizes the Ranking Member for questions. There are striking between president obamas executive action and similar actions taken by president reagan and president george h. W. Bush on addressing this problem.

Of the entire lds ceremony secretly filmed by a former mormon and kept to the worst kept secret of the 1840s, never before seen videos of secret Mormon Temple rituals. So in conclusion secrets sacred ritual, ex pose i offer these words as a storey line for a minority faith in america. Years ago this was crafted as pluralism and democracy and market place making spiritual choices, but the history recounted here added to a course of dissent from those depictions. On one hand this is a story of the americanize is of mormonisms how morals have chipped away at the secrets. On the other hand it is a reminder that the keeping and telling of secrets pushes scholars on to unstable ground. How should one study or narrate what partisans either want to keep hidden as a article of faith or expose as an act of democratic righteousness. Scholars of religion, journalists and political commenters it seems to me might see the space between taboo and fetish with regard to the secrets. Ideally we steer cl
