There's something special about manufacturing jobs. They're high paying. They don't require a college degree.
I think the money we have in the budget is sufficient for those kind of reachout programs, but we won't be satisfied until all the crimes are reported.

The obligation of the Justice Department is to protect the American people against violence and threats of violence and that particularly includes public officials.
