John Culberson: “I yield myself 20 seconds to point out that the sanctuary policy my colleague is attempting to protect is a policy…”

“I yield myself 20 seconds to point out that the sanctuary policy my colleague is attempting to protect is a policy designed to protect and shield criminal aliens, and my amendment enforces Federal law. Federal law is intended to uncloak those criminal aliens and allow local law enforcement officers to identify people like the Railway Killer so they can turn them over to Federal authorities. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to my colleague from Texas (Mr. McCaul). Mr. McCAUL of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I would like to thank my friend and colleague from Texas for this amendment. My hometown of Austin has seen the horrifying effects that a sanctuary policy can have on a community. Nearly 3 years ago, an 18-year-old woman by the name of Jenny Garcia was found stabbed to death in her northwest Austin home. An illegal alien by the name of David Diaz Morales was one of Jenny's coworkers. He made it clear to her that he wanted to be more than that. When Jenny rejected his advances, this put him into a rage. And on January 26, 2004, Morales broke into Jenny's home, forcefully grabbed her, held her down, raped her and brutally stabbed her to death. In less than 24 hours, the Austin Police Department arrested this 20- year-old criminal who had absolutely no business being in the United States, let alone Jenny's home. However, Mr. Morales had no business being free to walk America's streets either.…”
