It is not only hypocritical; imagine if the roles were reversed. This is not who we are.

That's a lot of families who have lost loved ones, and they can look at ICE and say: Look. Had you just done your job better, maybe my family member would be here today.

On November 20, 2014, just 2 weeks after the 2014 midterm elections, President Obama made far-reaching unilateral changes to our Nation's immigration policy.

So when that is not followed, what happens? Who is held accountable? Does anyone lose their job?

To me, that's a major failure. Because if I were somebody whose family member was victimized by a crime, I would want to know: Well, wait a minute. You guys should have known.

A criminal conviction for, say, aggravated assault, that's not looking into the future, that's looking into the past.

The problem, though, is, is if they're going and they're being convicted and then ICE knows that they're not here legally, and we know they're convicts, and yet they still get released into society.

if DHS is then going to release people who have been proven to be a danger to society into the public, well, then that leaves more Americans to be victimized by, in some cases, very violent crimes.

the fact that this system was hacked and we didn't even know about it for a long time, that is really, really troubling.

I think, going to have a chilling effect on people wanting to get involved if we don't get a handle on this.

So given that the consequences are potentially very dire, but also given that, I think, as all the witnesses have said, there are certainly things we could do very easily, why haven't we done enough, in your opinion?

their best bet to do the most damage would be to try to launch it over the country and explode it and create an EMP.
