This section provides that aliens who are arrested or charged with
serious crimes that result in death or serious bodily injury of another
must be held without bond during the pendency of their removal
proceedings. In addition, aliens convicted of even one drunk driving offense will
also be ineligible for bond during their removal proceedings. The
latter would have prevented the August 2010 death of Sister Denise
Mosier, a Catholic nun in Virginia, at the hands of a drunk driving
illegal alien who was released from ICE custody on bond. These classes
of individuals present a clear and present danger to society and should
not be permitted to roam our communities during the pendency of their
removal hearings. The commonsense provisions of H.R. 3003 will provide better
immigration enforcement and the peace of mind that no criminal will be
provided sanctuary from our immigration laws. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
