Bad process makes bad bills, and the process we have witnessed with
this bill can't get much worse. Mr. Speaker, challenged by their party's leader, Donald John Trump,
to fix DACA, House leadership, instead, brings this bill to the floor,
a bill that does nothing but peddle in the politics of fear, a bill
that purports to make communities safer, when all it does is serve red
meat to the Republican base and foment xenophobia. Everyone in this House, everyone in this Nation, can agree that
confronting and defeating the perpetrators of gang violence is a good
and worthy goal. In fact, we already have laws on the books that do
just that.
