I think the Chairwoman deserves tremendous credit for taking an international issue and showing why it is such...

What would help you then?

I happen to believe in that phrase that where there is a will, there is a way.

What we don't do here today and fix this problem, a child will be victimized tomorrow.

I couldn't get through the television to help you out.

I would like to give money on the enforcement side, but I would also like to increase the punitive measures.

Many of the needed reforms mentioned here are embodied in Title VI of H.R. 264, legislation introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX).

In large cities with multiple multicultural communities, it is very difficult to extract information on violent crimes or human trafficking when there is this sense of intimidation.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing, and let me acknowledge each and every one of the witnesses as patriots and individuals who love this country, and we respect that.

So showing up at a laundry with a raid and you have your uniform on, that would spill through the community and keep you from finding the MS-13 or anyone else that you might try to find.
