this is a huge challenge for us

Human trafficking is a heinous crime.

I thank this committee for its continued dedication to this issue.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify and I look forward to your questions.

We would love to see Congress move in some of these areas and we believe that that is an important initiative to address.

We need to move toward requiring things like E-Verify that allows us to find out who should be here.

I think there is definitely an attempt by the administration and specifically the USCIS to evaluate the visa process.

I hope you will give full and fair consideration to funding the Mentally Ill Offender Act.

How do we hold offenders accountable for their actions without denying them a return as contributing members of society?

I believe that we must look at this as not only a matter of financial cost, but also as one of human cost.

Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. He is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.
