Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. I would like to begin by thanking the senators on this committee who have met with the express concerns for law enforcement officers and the needs of law enforcement officers in particular.

Ranking member Grassley, thank you. Americans should understand that this legislation only guarantees legal status for illegal aliens. It contains no promise of solving our nation’s immigration problems, no guarantee of strong reinforcement on our nation’s interior or its borders.

It ignores the problems that have doomed our current immigration system to failure.

I testified today without having the opportunity to read this bill in its entirety as the gang of eight rushes to pass this bill denies their fellow Americans the time and means effectively studying the bill and adding input. This legislation was crafted behind closed doors with big business, big unions, and groups representing illegal aliens, groups with their own interest, groups that stand to make millions from this legislation. Anyone with a significantly different opinion on immigration reform was prohibited by the gang of eight from having input.

Lawmaking in our nation has indeed taken a strange twist, as Senators invite illegal aliens to testify before Congress and groups representing the interest of illegal aliens are brought into the development of our nation’s laws, but american citizens working as law-enforcement officers within our nation’s broken immigration system are purposely and excluded from the process and prohibited from providing input.

Last week, desperate to be heard, border sheriff’s, interior sheriff’s, deputies and immigration agents all came to Washington D.C. with the hope that the gang of eight would hear their concerns.

They held two meetings on two separate days. Not one member of the gang of eight attended. Last week and I respectfully ask the question at the press conference, I was escorted out by police and senate staff. I was spoken to with anger and disrespect.

Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers as I’ve seen from the gang of eight.

Suffice it to say, following the Boston terrorist attack, I was appalled to hear the gang of a telling America that its legislation is what american law enforcement needs.

Since 2008, President Obama has ignored many of the immigration laws enacted by Congress and has instead created his own immigration system that unlawfully provides protections for millions of illegal aliens.

Of course, congress has done nothing to stop the president, and I submit to everyone that America will never have an effective immigration system as long as presidents and their appointees are permitted to ignore the United States Congress and pick and choose the laws they will enforce, and indeed, enact their own laws without congress through agency policy.

This bill does nothing to address these problems. In fact, unbelievably, it gives far greater authority and control to the president and the secretary of DHS.

Exactly the opposite of what our country needs to create a consistent and effective immigration system. If the laws enacted by congress are not enforced by the executive, america has the promise of future enforcement. That much is certain. Currently at ICE; immigration agents have filled a lawsuit against DHS and ICE because both have refused to enforce immigration laws enacted by congress.

Agents cannot arrest individuals for entering the United States illegally or overstaying VISA’s. Agents are prohibited from enforcing laws regarding fraudulent documents and identity theft. Agents are not permitted to arrest public charges.

Agents are forced to apply the Obama Dream Act, not to children in schools, but to adult inmates in jail, releasing criminals back into the community, criminals who have committed felonies, who have assaulted officers, and who prey on children.

And at an alarming rate, ICE deportation numbers have plummeted since 2008, evidence that interior enforcement has a large part been shut down. Contrary to reports by presidential appointees at ICE and DHS.

In closing, my initial impression of this bill thus far, in large part it appears to have to have a lot of loopholes, everything from gang activity to the arrest record to criminal backgrounds and fraudulent activities, at many levels are accessible or waiverable under this bill. The entry exit system doesn’t even utilize by a metrics; making it ineffective yesterday.

We already know that aliens are engaged in illegal activities that will bypass the system. At a time when Congress is proposing legalization for millions, I think Americans expected a stronger enforcement across the board that would prevent another wave of illegal immigration.

Unfortunately in terms of enforcement and providing for public safety, I think this bill is going to fall short in terms of legalization and eventual citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens, I think this excess is guaranteed.

Thank you, that concludes my testimony.
