it seems clear to me that we are placing environmental priorities over our national security with all of this; and it is inexcusable

So we have ICE that is responsible for releasing these people that should be deported, but in many cases no one is looking out for them.

It seems very commonsensical to me that if an illegal individual in this country commits a sex crime, they need to be put on the National Sex Offender Registry when they are released.

I have actually introduced a bill, and I think that it closes this loophole, H.R. 2793.

You promised last time you were here that by the end of 2015 that the States would--law enforcement would be notified.

Bottom line when we all come to this, everybody involved, when it comes to the issue of criminal aliens, the public safety is paramount for past victims, as well as potential future victims.

I think this needs some further research and investigation.

There is no reason to hide behind market sensitivities as an excuse not to provide this committee with that which has been requested through subpoena.

this is symptomatic of a larger problem.

If you've provided all the information, why are you seated here? Why are we having this hearing? It's because we don't have the information.

we're all here because of waste, fraud, and abuse, and we're not getting the information we have to to deal with the problem that we need to deal with.

Well, God forbid that you provide this market-sensitive information to the public market, free marketplace.
