I believe that the best defense is offense. And I believe that homeland security starts at the border. Here we are talking about closing the barn door after the fact. And so. yes. I agree with the gentleman. We all should be against those who perpetrate crimes of violence. those who are drug traffickers and. unfortunately. happen to be illegal aliens. But ask the Federal Government whose responsibility it is. the Justice Department. the Homeland Security Department. why they have been ineffective in enforcing our laws at the border and internally in terms of individuals who have perpetrated crimes? These mandatory minimums are burdensome.
