their families are in central america, their communities are in central america, that's where they go to church, that's where their friends are. they come here for economic opportunity. if we can change that equation and give them a reason to stay home where they can have -- and we're not talk about high-tech jobs here. we're talking about agricultural jobs, we're talking about unskilled labor-type jobs, investment garment industry as an example, those kind of what you call it high-labor -- labor intensity jobs, those are the kind of jobs. i was talking to a great guy, good friend president hernandez from honduras he was in my office a few waekz ago, going down to see him in a month or couple of weeks. he told me he's reduced the a. violence in his country by a third in four years. that's a remarkable thing. that's a kind of columbia level success story relative to their trouble times before the beginning of columbia in the so he's reduced violence by a third and he's expected to add 600,000 jobs to his economy and that's without this boost that we hope will come as a result of our ef

cities and central america. senator ron johnson chairs the homeland security and governmental affairs committee. this is two hours. >>> this hearing will come to order. i want to thank the witnesses for taking time for your thoughtful testimony. i think it will be pretty interesting description of a problem that i think plagues so many inner cities and from my standpoint really one of the contributing factors of this is one of the top priorities of this committee is securing our borders. this is what i think our 25th? 25th hearing on some aspect of border security. now, the title of the hearing was border and security the rise of ms-13 and other transnational criminal organizations. reading through the testimony, it looks like we're going to be focusing an awful lot on ms-13 which is obviously in the news today. and i'll let the witnesses tell the stories, but it is kind of interesting the history of ms-13. originally formed out of immigrants coming from el salvador, the war there in california, southern califor

the organizations grew and thrived in central america. now we're seeing them come back sometimes in the form of unaccompanied children. i did send a letter yesterday on, as a result of information we received from whistle-blower. i sent to mr. scott lloyd, director of office of refugee and resettlement. yesterday late, late-breaking news, because of this hearing we did, we were informed by a whistle-blower of a customs and border protection document from july of 2014 describing an incident. this is right at the height of the surge of unaccompanied children arriving at our border. the documents appear to indicate the cpb apprehended self-identified ms-13 gang members at the border. the cpb significant incident report dated july 5th, 2014, basically stated officers assigned to the ncp. nogales placement center, identified multiple admitted ms-13 gang members. another document goes on to quote, all identified gang members in nogales placement center have been placed in the appropriate placement senter and are no longer being held at the npc.

we discussed the violence in central america. from your perspective, how can we reinforce their law enforcement efforts? >> i had the opportunity to speak to high-ranking officials what they said over and over again was that what you are experiencing in el salvador was the sophistication of gang members coming back from the united states. just recently they started doing title iii wiretaps. up until 2013 they did not have the ability to do that. in el salvador what they need most in regards to combating the ms 13 is not just technology, but the personnel that knows how to utilize that technology. most importantly and i know the department of justice has gone through great lengths to provide this training for their prosecutors. many prosecutors did not have the training to prosecute. when i was down there a couple of years ago we found that we found that the homicide detectives stood into homicide investigations. for the most part they just responded, wrote a report and then moved on. so to answer your question directly, training

and then based on problems, those members being deported to central america. the organizations grew and thrived in central america and now we're seeing them come back sometimes in the form of unaccompanied children. i did send a lower yesterday on -- as a result of information we received from whistle-blower. i sent it to scott lloyd, director of the house of refugee and resettlement. and yesterday late, late breaking news because of this hearing we did -- we were informed by a whistle-blower of the customs and border protection document from july of 2014 describing an incident. this is right at the heist the surge of unaccompanied children arriving at our border. they identified the ms 13 gang members at the border. the cvp dated july 5th, 2014 stated that officers assigned to the npc identified multiple admitted ms 13 gang members. another document goes on to quote all identified gang members and the placement center were placed in the appropriate placement center and are no longer being held at the npc. 16 identified juvenile gang members were transferred t

all three of you mentioned the interaction between ms13 and what's happening in central america. several of you mentioned specifically the coordinate efforts between central america and law enforcement here both federal and their law enforcement in that spot. what can we do to help facilitate greater cooperation, whether that be fingerprint sharing, identity, background information between individuals that are being deported here back there and back there but also individuals moving in this direction as well. what coordination is missing because ms13 obviously is a strong central american salvadorian especially presence there, what can we do? >> just say that you touched on a couple of things that we need to do, first, our ability to remove, identified ms13 gang members that have been arrested or convicted of crimes oftentimes we have not only in central america, but other nations in our world that will not accept their residents back. and we need to remove them from our country, and so if we can work on that issue, it would be very helpful, and as i mentioned in my testimony tha

the transit country in central america and mexico, as well as the us border. these migrant flows as well as cartel networks in the region have created a thriving business for smugglers. in addition, strengthening border security and enforcing immigration laws, we need to ensure that we are partnering with the source country. this can be, ultimately exploited by transnational groups, by terrorists who are trying to bring in illicit items , not people but items come into united states. what would a strategy that tries to counter illicit flows look like. it begins by working with mexico and with guatemala. we need to tighten their own border security. perhaps, by using our existing us canadian programs and having us law enforcement partner directly with our counterparts in mexico if they invite us to do so. working with other willing partners in the region to enhance their border security to keep transit points as well. by using the department of defense train and equip authority. to help build capacity with our foreign partners in central and south america. by r

the communities are in central america. that's where they go to church and that is where their friends are. they come here for economic opportunity. if we can give any reason to stay home where they can have, not talking about high-tech jobs comes talking about agricultural jobs and the unskilled labor job investments, those kind of labor intensity jobs. i was talking to a good friend from honduras who was in my office. he told me that he has reduced the amount of violence in his country by one third and that is a remarkable thing. but as a columbia level stories related to their troubled times before the beginning of columbia is the reduced violence by a third and expects to add 600,000 jobs to his economy, and that is without this boost that will come as a result, so it is the economics that we have to improve and we are not talking about huge money that may be the cost of running military operations for a day. if there is one quick question from the audience, there's multipoint hands up i think i saw yours first. senator

i'm traveling down to central america. my last job i was down there all the time. we are trying to make things right down there. because much of their problems of course are attributed to our drug demand in the united states. we're working the whole thing. economic, diplomatic, social law enforcement down 70% since donald trump took the reigns. ainsley: i remember you said if you are illegal here in america and caught dui you are going back. he said i will let the general do the job because they say a good leader is one that can delegate. i know he is letting you. >> 75% of the people great men and women of ice taken into custody. 75% are criminals. other 25% are not innocent. they are multiple deportees. they are people who have fleeing from the law. they are fugitives. but they are not necessarily convicted criminals. 75% are indeed criminals. other 25% are not the valor victorians of their high school class. ainsley: nice way to say it. steve: in addition to fighting terror you were the secretary of homeland security and worried about all of us being safe during

the citizens of the region the cubans fleeing the island those countries and central america and mexico as well as the u.s. border and those microphones have created the thriving business to strengthen border security to enforce immigration laws to ensure we are preparing to stem the flow switch cannot be exploited by transnational groups trying to bring a listed items so what is that strategy look like quite. >> with mexico and guatemala. by using u.s. canadian programs as they invite us to do so working with other partners in the region with those key transit points as well to help build capacity and revitalizing the coastguard ship building to ensure the of the coastguard cutter presence by providing greater resources by a convening discussions and it is my understanding with one such gathering of foreign ministers as well as other countries to discuss this and other issues to reassess the alliance for prosperity and i support to not replicating those mistakes with the controls are in place to prevent waste and corruption. given that possible shift of the peace columbia to

145, expressing the support of the house of representatives for the fight against corruption in central america. in too many central american countries, it has become common practice for govnment officials to use public office to enrich themselves instd of serving the public good for too long, corruption has allowed violence and poverty to hold these countri back, but recently the people of central america have made it clear that they are ready for a change. in the last two years, young people from across the region ve taken to the streets and demonstrated and some real progress has been made. in guatemala, honduras, el salvador, the attorneys general have demonstrad indendence and real curming. in guatemala attorney general worked with has cicig with ivan vazquez to help the prosecors and has assisted with effective investigations into corruption and human rights violations. inonduras, attorney gen oscar chinchilla has work with mission to support the fight against corruption and impunity in honduras, macci, since 2016. led by juan jimenez, maccih has important legal reforms and assisting with

and let alone the criminal secretary perez and although central america, unfortunately, is famous for criminal activity. but what becomes clear when you look carefully is that you've got a network that is made up of people at the top of the public sector, the private sector and the criminal sector. and often overlap or they share competences, or they have a cut out like a representative that they will come to know, one brother will be in the public sector and the other brother will be running a drug cartel. so you stand these different sectors. -- span. that's with this picture exposed to at least the vote in peoples mind. added to want to just say, well, i will say that later. david, if you won't might give me the next one. this graphic does try to break it down for you. so the public sector, members of the network, have a responsibility, and that is to distort state agencies or institutions, functions of government, if you will, to serve the purposes of the network as opposed to serving their stated purpose, which is the public interest, the public good. some not going to go through

right there in central america. the shining past was fighting for freedom, from the national fruit companies, because they wanted to grow food, not bananas. but the cia said we would take care of it, and what did they do? they bombed nicaragua. they got rid of all those people, and we are paying the price. 90% of the people coming here from latin america are not for mexico, they are from central america. no drugs should be illegal. look at portugal. look at the netherlands. in portugal, the war that we call on drugs, it's nothing but money making for wall street. host: dilbert in oklahoma. we mentioned before that the attorney general, in the process of hiring new attorney general's after removing the last of the obama era attorney generals, one of those former u.s. rahorney's was preet baha with the southern district of new york from 2009 until march . he has a common in today's "washington post" on restoring the faith in the rule of law in washington. he notes in that column that he joins a common sense call for a

but how those people are from central america.central americans are coming up and those folks whether apprehended by the border patrol or by the office of field operations at port of entry, most of those folks are claiming asylum because they are fleeing violence or they are fleeing other difficulties in central america or the been told to do so by the smugglers. some are legitimate, some not at all them are entitled to date of course in immigration courts if the task a credible screening and about 90% pass. what i would say is that we have become far more effective at policing the flow of people coming from mexico. mexico has changed economically so more people are staying open to a people are coming but we still have serious problems and this is junk were facing now in terms of migration is central america. that a straight a resource because claiming asylum but there are 500,000 person backlogs in her immigration courts and that's what causes us to release those folks into the united states pending their claims. so if we're to s

the area i focus a lot on is central america.cindy and i took a trip to mexico and el salvador, mexico is where we met with officials where we are at the beginning of that discussion where the have a special unit within the attorney general's office in mexico that deals with violence against women and kind of that new idea that changes the culture of the government that this is unacceptable. so, it takes respecting people where they are, but also nudging them to understand that there is a universal morality. i was with a friend this weekend and we're talking about selling children in a country, i want to tell her story. she said one of the americans is working on environmental issue says that is just what happens in this country. so his goal was to save the animals and he was willing to overlook the selling of childr children. we have to say, there is a universal morality. we should all be bound by that universal morality and we have an obligation when we see horrible things as citizens of the world, to say those are horrible. we

incredibly hard work what we focus on is central america up. send the entire ticket trip to mexico and else salvador but we met with officials who was just beginning the discussion meeting with the attorney general dealing with violence against women with that new idea that and is the coulter that -- coulter that this is unacceptable but to also allege that to understand it is a universal morality and was with a friend who was talking about selling children in a country. but she said one of the americans working on environmental issues said that is what happens in this country. so his goal was to save the animals but willing to overlook the selling of children. but we have to say there is a universal morality and we have an obligation when we see horrible things as citizens of the world but we have to have governments that we can work with to change those outcomes to provide that protection. if we talk about how difficult it is for our government the best government in the role to protect the most full verbal then you cannot do one without the

and other countries in central america, to fight the links of the chain. we have destroyed 22,000 laboratories in the colombian jungles, seizing the cocaine in transit. we have seized record amounts of tons, last year and this year we're doing even better than last year. so by working together, we can be much more effective and that is the commitment we just made, or ratified this afternoon. president trump: and that was a long and very diplomatic answer to your question. i will say it a little bit shorter. walls work, just ask israel. they work. believe me. they work. and we have no choice. peter baker. >> thank you, mr. president. in the light of a very busy news week, a lot of people would like to get to the bottom of a couple of things, give you a chance to go on record here. did you at any time urge f.b.i. director james comey in any way shape or form to close or back down the investigation into michael flynn. and also -- ty ksrl cf ump: no.y hi h dotrropele hth poor, poor performance. so poor, in fact, that i believe, and you'd have to ask him, becau

the united states exported those gang members and then it grew in central america.of them are actually american citizens. this is a gang that grew and got stronger in u.s. neighborhoods and in u.s. prisons. not everyone, every member of the gang is an illegal immigrant. now there are cliques popping up in cities like virginia and new york, not close to the border. one more point is if you listen to the fbi and the department of justice, they can't even put a real number on how many of these gang members are illegal immigrants and how many are american citizens. the border might not even be the problem after all. >> thanks. >>> the white house says president trump is considering revamping laws to make it easier to sue news organizations. is it talk or could he do that? we will look at that ahead. so tell us your big idea for getting the whole country booking on choice hotels.com. four words, badda book. badda boom... let it sink in. shouldn't we say we have the lowest price? nope, badda book. badda boom. have you ever stayed with choice hotels? like at a comfort inn?

where they, people live on very small farms that would be in sub saharan africa, in asia, in central america of poverty. people live very, very hand to mouth and if something goes wrong, if there's a drought or a flood or a terrible storm and their crop is destroyed they really don't have anything to fall back on. and that is when people have a hunger season and if it goes on too long, without anybody intervening and helping then it becomes acute and children begin to die. - so what tool are you recommending to help? - there's been a fabulous innovation called "plumpy'nut". and plumpy'nut replaces what used to be accomplished by an intravenous tube in a field hospital. a mother would have to take her very weak children far away and try to get there and then there were only so many kids that they could help that way and then they were in a hospital setting which is really hard on the whole family and they're away from the rest of their family. but this is a paste. it's based on peanuts and it was designed by a pediatrician that noticed that kids in france where he lived really liked nutella w

today colombia and the united states are working together to support central america in their fight against drug cartels. the violence of organized crime. i can say, mr. president, based on our conversations this afternoon, that i have no doubt that the united states and colombia continue to be today more than ever a support one for the other. our alliance was strengthened. our most valuable cooperation has been in colombia which i can sum up in very simple terms. when colombians were fighting to survive for our democracy to survive actually, faced with a threat of terrorism and drug trafficking, the united states stretched out a hand an helped us win that battle. we will never forget it. today we are living in a different country. today colombia is a more peaceful society, a more modern and a fairer society. in november last year we ended the longest and last armed conflict existing in our hemisphere. the guerrilla is putting down weapons at this precise time to the united nations. insecurity has come down significantly. today we have the lowest levels of violence over the last 40 years. a

it is a small problem in central america as well. so you can provide badly aid and assistance for those who have succeeded in fleeing the disaster or remain in parts of syria but are living under horrible conditions. that is all cheap and easy. for a tiny fraction of increasing the military budget to close more destruction. the other thing that can be done and is being done is to try to support local efforts throughout syria at local cease fire to lower the level of violence happening in the different places. these can't seem to be certain but there seems to be possibilities that were dismissed. for example, in 2012, there were reports from former finish minister and involvement in peace keeping claim that the russian diplomat had proposed a settlement that at the time said the assad regime would be ended. that was dismissed without comment. the u.s., britain and france just assumed they could overthrow the assad regime and didn't want anything to do with it. that is the report. the report appeared in england. as far as i know, never
