That is why the nuns and the Catholic
bishops have contacted us asking us not to support this bill. I would like to note, just finally, that the first obligation that we
have is to keep America safe. We fail to do that if we craft language
that really is just part of a broad deportation agenda under the guise
of an antigang bill. There is great concern that is what has happened
here. One of the elements that is referenced as a predicate for gang
activity--the five people who are working together--is that documents
are false. A lot of people are highly agitated when undocumented people
have false documents. Opinions differ. Almost every undocumented person
in the United States who works has a fake ID; otherwise, they can't get
a job. You can agree with that, you can think it is terrible, you can think
it is maybe not so terrible. I think most of us would agree it is not
MS-13.
