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. From the Immigration Service and the department of homeland subcommittee report on the beneficiary bill u. S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement removes the aliens and i will support requesting the beneficiary on these two private bills if they find no derog derogtory information. The committee has approved and passed these bills in the past but they didnt come to law. One bill grants permanent residents to a couple with children who cannot be treated out of outside of the United States. The other is coming to take care of her husband. Would you like to make comments . I would just note you have correctly stated the matter and we are of one mind
The agenda for the most obvious reasons. It is the most populous country in the entire region. For the last four years it has teetered on the brink of political and economic and social collapse. I think it is still in a tenuous phase at this point. And when we talk about adopting or adapting the new silk road concepts to places like egypt there are places where it fits in with the president s attempt to build a second suez canal and to help egypt become a more functional place when it comes to linking parts of the world together. Where i think we may have some differences of views, and we can talk about this is how about the best way for egypt to approach the extremism and terrorism problem. And as we see in the last few weeks, this problem is not only gotten worse, it has actually made things much more difficult in places not only in the signi peninsula but in cairo proper. But this is again not only what type of in collusive Economic Growth we want to try to promote to help the socie
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
