That is the kind of community that everyone in America deserves--one
where they feel safe and secure. H.R. 3003 impedes on law enforcement's ability to effectively do its
job. It will create an environment that will erode the trust between
law enforcement and the communities they serve. The local police are the first ones to respond. They are the thin
blue line that stands between those who are in this country, who are
trying to live in peace, and those that would do them harm. We want our
neighbors--immigrants--to call the police to report crimes without fear
or hesitation. When they do not, Mr. Speaker, our community is at the
mercy of the criminals.
