Mr. Speaker, the Federal Government's first duty is to
protect its citizens. For too long, dangerous gangs like MS-13 have
exploited our Nation's immigration laws and made our communities less
safe. Hoosiers are tired of it, and it is well past time to crack down
on this illegal activity and restore the rule of law in America. Today, the House passed a commonsense reform that does just that,
ensuring violent gangs are kept off our streets. The Criminal Alien
Gang Member Removal Act would allow law enforcement to detain and
deport criminal alien gang members who pose a serious threat to our
safety. Instead of waiting on another tragedy, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement could remove these criminals before they have a chance to
harm innocent Americans. The bill would also prevent these criminals from ever entering the
United States again. It is really just common sense.
