And when they actually capture someone coming into the United States. here is what happens. Mr. Speaker: They are arrested. they are taken to a Federal magistrate. they are told that they are going to have a deportation hearing eventually. But the detention facilities are so crowded that over 90 percent of them are released on their word to show up for their deportation hearing 6 months away. This defies common sense. the idea of this catch and release policy. Capture the people illegally coming into the United States. take them to court. and tell them: If you promise to come back for your deportation hearing. we will have a hearing in 6 months to determine whether you get to stay or you must leave. Are we not surprised that most of them do not come back for their hearings? This defies common sense. it wastes time. and it does not work to solve any problem with our immigration. or. shall I say. our lack of immigration policy. And just so it is clear. Mr.
