Economic development is the first line of defense against crime. On the other hand. there are aspects of the bill that deeply trouble me. It would effectively override States laws by extending the Federal death penalty to homicides in all 50 States. It would create new mandatory minimum sentencing laws. and limit due process in deportation cases. These are tough sounding policies. but they will do nothing to prevent crime and make our streets safer. We will have an opportunity in conference to address the illadvised aspects of this bill. while strengthening the provisions that will really promote public safety.
