I have similar concerns with respect to juvenile offenders who commit unspeakably violent crimes.

I endorse any effort to ensure that the First Step Act is fully implemented.
I find that shocking, and I strongly disassociate myself and support that are expressed for that on behalf of the Minority.
The question we need to ask is whether admitting Puerto Rico as a state makes our country stronger or weaker.
The government of Puerto Rico is a fiscal basket case, which we have been dealing with on this Committee for many years.
The question that Congress must decide is whether that is in the interest of the United States as a whole to admit Puerto Rico as a state.
I don't think any question that that's the case. These policies have produced the largest human-trafficking operation since the international slave trade.
That's a 674-percent increase over last May. Nearly a million so far this year.
This is a massive-organized crime syndicate burgeoning in this country because of these policies.
So, we basically, 170-plus years after the 13th Amendment, have slavery burgeoning in this country as a result of these policies.
