Last week, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform met to chastise four sanctuary city mayors for impeding federal agencies in dealing with illegal aliens. Yesterday (March 11), the group met again in the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement with the topic “Enhancing Federal, State, and Local Coordination in the Fight Against Criminal Illegal Aliens.” Although this get-together wasn’t as heated as the last, there were still some strong messages presented.
Chairman Clay Higgins (R-LA) opened the meeting with comments about criminal migrants and the need for local and state law enforcement to work with the federal government. “In recent years, we have seen the weaponization of our justice system, lawlessness in our cities, and an open border that has allowed illegal drugs and dangerous gangs into our country with deadly results,” he explained.
In testimony, Kerry Doyle, former principal legal adviser to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claimed that President Donald Trump’s policies are taking things too far. She said Boston, with more than 700,000 residents, has 28% born in a country other than the United States. Mayor Michelle Wu previously claimed it was the safest largest city in the United States but added that “a scared city is not a safe city, a land ruled by fear is not the land of the free,” Doyle quoted.
She continued, claiming illegal aliens are fearful of the current climate. More than 1,000 children were absent from schools in Massachusetts due to rumors of ICE raids. She detailed arrests that included non-criminal migrants and insisted the Bay State worked well within the law regarding deportations and dealing with the undocumented.
Joseph M. Humire, executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society, spent a majority of his time talking about the national security risks caused by illegal immigration. “The United States is facing the worst border and immigration crisis in its history,” he said. Over the past four years, more than 14 million illegal aliens have arrived in America, “larger than the population of 45 U.S. states or the equivalent of adding another state the population size of Pennsylvania to the union.” He added:
“If only .05 percent of this emerging illegal alien population in America is tied to or affiliated with criminal or terrorist organizations, we are facing a crime-terror contingent inside the homeland the size of the U.S. Army and U.S.S. Marine Corps combined. That is a national security emergency.” […]
