Mr. Chairman. I rise to speak today and I offer an amendment to this end to speak to a growing problem in our Nation where criminals who commit violent crimes. including murdering law enforcement officers. these criminals are illegal immigrants. some of them. Some are immigrants. These folks sometimes flee the Nation and they flee to nations that refuse to extradite them back to the United States of America so they can be dealt with in our justice system. and those nations have been refusing to extradite these criminals because of our tough laws on criminals. including life imprisonment. There is language in this bill that addresses these concerns. but there is one big problem: it gives the State Department the power to issue waivers to foreign countries which allow these countries to continue receiving taxpayer funding even if they refuse to extradite these criminals to the United States.
