Mr. Speaker. Americans are appalled by the murder of Kate Steinle by a man who had been deported five times and was wanted by ICE but was let free. In Chicago. Denny McCain was killed by a drunk driver who had a prior felony and who was in our country illegally. ICE issued a detainer. but the defendant was let out on bail and disappeared. Donald Trump is wrong. Most immigrants to America are upstanding people who come to our country to work hard. but policies that permit these travesties should be stopped. Unfortunately. we are not being offered a commonsense solution. We are offered the polarizing choices that we either do nothing or we harm the very institutions and citizens we are trying to protect. What we need to do is stop local policies that ignore ICE detainers and let criminals go who are in our country illegally. I know this commonsense solution will anger people on both sides. but ask local police. They want to focus on those who have committed crimes in their communities.
