Hal Rogers from Kentucky. gave testimony to our entire leadership at a hearing. and I attended it. that is really compelling. One of the most important things that the Department of Homeland Security has done is they ended the policy that had evolved from 20 years back that was known as catch and release. and replaced it with a new policy called catch and return. Now. catch and release said that if you were an illegal immigrant coming across our southern border. and you were apprehended. you would be arrested for a misdemeanor charge of illegally entering the United States and released on your own recognizance depending on your open court date. and people obviously would not come to court. So thereby people would gain into our country and disappear into our country and probably get a bogus Social Security card so that they could be hired by somebody. and that would constitute the 12 million illegals that we have here now. We stopped that policy.
