On the recordJune 2, 2011
Reclaiming my time, the gentleman from Nebraska raises some excellent points, and I strongly support robust enforcement of our Nation's immigration laws. That includes partnership with the States and local law enforcement through the 287(g) program. As the gentleman from Nebraska noted, 287(g) is an important tool among many and gives ICE a force multiplier for immigration enforcement. I thank the gentleman from Nebraska for his attention to this important program, and I will continue to work with him as we move this bill forward. I yield back the balance of my time.
