Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. It is clear that the laws aren't working. That is why we need
comprehensive immigration reform, and that is why it is so unfortunate
that the Republicans in this House have stalled on that issue. We had
bipartisan support a few years ago for comprehensive immigration
reform, but people here, for some reason, would rather just demagogue
the issue than do something about it. As I said before, I actually trust my local officials, my local
police, more than I do my Republican friends who are speaking here
today and who spoke in the Rules Committee last night. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a letter to all of us from the
National Fraternal Order of Police, which is strongly opposed to this
bill; a letter to all of us from The United States Conference of
Mayors, which is strongly opposed to all of this; a letter to all of us
from the Law Enforcement Immigration Task Force, which is strongly
opposed to this bill; and a letter to all of us from Cities for Action,
which is strongly opposed to this bill. National
Fraternal Order of Police,
Washington, DC, June 27, 2017. Hon.
