such policies make their cities and states less safe. public safety and national security are at stake and put them at risk of losing federal dollars. the american people want and deserve a lawful system of immigration that keeps us safe, and one that serves the national interest. this expectation is reasonable, just and our government has a duty to meet it and we will meet it. thank you. >> montgomery county up the road -- [indiscernible] has anyone with the department of justice had a discussion with montgomery county, described as a sanctuary county? mr. sessions: maryland is talking about a state law to make the state a sanctuary state. the governor is opposed to that, i am glad to hear. that would be such a mistake. i would plead with the people of maryland to understand this makes the state of maryland more at risk for violence and crime. it is not the policy. -- it is not good policy. as a prosecutor for many years, i just know the historic relationship different federal agencies have with regard to honoring detainers. it is a fun

and if we are okay with our city polarizing and okay with our city becoming the city of the wealthy and the city of the extremely poor, then we should leave things the same, but i stand in front of you today to say, we have a tupe opportunity to make a bold move and shift and spread around affordable housing to serve working people. that way we can begin to address some of the economic extremes that we have in our city. so, we are proposing on any new private development and we think the prescribet market is where we can begin to tackle and intervening and tackle building housing for working people. 18 percent of that housing should bow set aside and that would range from family of 3 beginning at $43 thousand and go up to a family of 3 at $126 thousand. these are our working families and if we children and namlies to remain in san francisco we have to do this. now, in 2002, we didn't have a affordal housing bond. in 2002 when we created this inclusionary housing just for low income affordable, we didn't have a affordable housing trust. the mayor just announced the other day with support
