I do not want those individuals. if they come from another country. to be allowed to stay here. All 20 of the women of the Senate requested this hearing from the Judiciary Committee. and the Senator from Texas and the Senator from Minnesota have bills that deal with this kind of human trafficking. We are trying to send a message that these individuals should be a high priority for deportation. but I want to make it clear that contrary to allegations that have been made about my billand. frankly. it is a completely specious argumentthere is nothing in my bill that deprives the Department of Homeland Security of the authority it needs to pursue those who would seek to harm our countrythose. for example. who are terrorists or belong to gangs or pose some sort of public safety or national security threat. Indeed. the public safety threat is big enough to cover the people we are talking about. but we think they merit special mention in our bill. Why would we want to keep someone in our country who is deportable. who is a sex offender. who has been convicted of child molestation or domestic violence? It makes no sense.
