the dhs does this under the guise of prosecutorial discretion. the beneficiaries include many thousands of aliens who have been arrested by state and local law enforcement who are convicted criminals who have been put in removal proceedings and who dhs simply has let back onto our streets. in addition to simply not pursuing remove bl aliens, the dhs has granted, has been granting hundreds of thousands of them administrative legalization and work authorization. the department of homeland security does this under many guises, invoking doctrines we soar thetic names such as "deferred action" and "parole in place." the net effect of these policies has been described by former i.c.e. acting director john sandwig, quote, if you are a run of the mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting decan ported are close -- deported are close to zero, end quote. i.c.e. has been claiming to have removed record numbers of unlawful or criminal aliens from the united states. of course, to the extent these numbers are valid, they would have simply reflected th

let me give two examples on the dhs side.rst, in 2011 patrol aircraft for the coast guard -- the lead agency for maritime drug interdiction -- conducted -- [inaudible] hours in puerto rico. if puerto rico were a state, that would have never been allowed to occur. second and also in 2011, cbp closed a boat unit in san juan that had seized over 7,000 pounds of drugs the previous year. clearly, there was a disconnect between the problem in puerto rico and the federal response. along with colleagues like congressman michael mccall who's now the chairman of the homeland security committee, i did everything within my power to highlight the need for additional federal resources in puerto rico. my colleagues here can attest to this, having heard me raise this issue every time a dhs or doj official appears before this committee. i have no alternative, because the stakes are too high. starting in 2012, our message finally began to sink in, particularly at dhs. much of the credit owes to secretary napolitano who, as thosed, traveled to

dhs does this under the guise of prosecutorial discretion. the beneficiaryies include many thousands of -- convicted criminals who have been nut removal proceed examination who dhs has simply let back on to our streets in addition to simply not removing deportable aliens dhs has been granding hundreds of thousands of them administrative legalization and work authorization. the department of homeland security does this under many guys, invoking doctrines with names such as deferred action, and parole in place. the net effect of these policies has been described by former i.c.e. acting director, john sandway, quote, if you are a run of the mill, your odds of being deported are close to zero. over the past few years i.c.e. has been claiming to have removed record numbers of unlawful or criminal aliens from the united states. of course, to the extent these numbers are valid, they would have simply reflected the vast increase in enforcement resources provided by congress. i.c.e.'s budget has increased from 3 billion in 2005 to 5.8 million in 2013.

when fema was moved to dhs, dhs disbursed its authority throughout the problem creating confusion as to who was in charge of responding to disasters and we saw the results in the poor response to hurricane katrina. i hope that is not what is happening here. but this shows no unity in command. this is disconcerning. i wonder if we had the correct witnesses from dhs because it seems decisions are being made from somewhere else in the department and it isn't clear by whom. i expect we will have a number of follow-up questions as we assess what we have learned today. members have anything to add? the submit -- subcommittee -- stands add adjourned. >> later, a decision on how technology impacts policy making. next, a debate on whether state surveillance is a breach of freedom. this is part of toronto's biannual taped remark

dhs, dhs was moved to dispersed its authorities and response abilities throughout the department, greeting real confusion as to who was in charge for responding to a disaster. that inhe results of the poor response to hurricane katrina. i hope this is not what is happening here. ,hen i look at this may 1 memo it says there is no clear unity of command at nac. this is very disconcerting. frankly, i wonder if we had the correct witnesses hear from dhs. it seems decisions are being made about fps from somewhere else in the department. it is not clear by whom. i expect we will have a number of follow-up questions as we assess what we have heard today. if no other members have anything to add, this subcommittee stands adjourned. >> coming up in one hour, president obama is expected to name shaun donovan as the nominee to become the next white house budget director. replacing sylvia burwell, who will now likely be the next director of hhs. the president will introduce cooling castro as the next housing secretary nominee. -- julian castro. he gave the address at the democratic convention in 2012.

why is this being delegated across dhs? responsibilityr in their delegation of authority preaching the unity of demand? this is what they cited as the reason for moving this as the security lead of the headquarters. >> i do not have an answer for you. i do not know why different animals -- agencies have been granted. i do not know that. i also conclude our first panel. i would like to thank you both for your testimony today. and for your time and cooperation. thank you. we will now call on our second panel. our second panel we have the afg.dent of and the general counsel national association of security companies. i ask unanimous consent that the full statement be included in the record. the written testimony has been made part of the record that you limit this to five minutes. you may proceed. >> thank you. thank you members of the committee. my name is david wright. i am inspectors since 1986. they are very vulnerable to attack criminal and terrorist threats. security is as effective as this? definitely not. solutions inc

dhs ina has increased outreach by 382% from 2012 to 2013. four 2014, we are in a trajectory to bypass last year's numbers. these are in addition to our , andy, with monthly quarterly engagements. we are partnering with state and local centers. these are just some of our efforts to increase threat andeness, decrease prior -- adjust priorities. thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. i look forward to your questions. >> thank you for your testimony, mr. lemons. now i am pleased to recognize -- >> good morning. distinct members. i am pleased to appear before you to discuss the cyber threats affecting our nation and how the abroa our partners and protectd are working to the united states. to adversaries continue evolve, and so too must the fbi. we live in a time of state-sponsored terrorism. these diverse threats facing our nation and neighborhoods underscore the complex that he and brett of the fbi's -- the thelexity and breadth of threats. they seek trade -- our trade and state secrets. all of which are incredible value to us here in

we received a memo from the dhs chief security officer to the dhs under security for management that removes the federal protection service from its elite role of providing security at the homeland security headquarters complex on nebraska avenue. pattersonuestion, mr. , is why would be federal protection service removed its elite provider at the dhs headquarters, and does this mean dhs has lost confidence in fps? >> to answer your question, sir, to my knowledge, this was not an issue of performance. the departmente has lost confidence in the federal protective service. i believe this was an issue of supporting the secretary felt vision. in effect, fps will continue to provide security, which will include law enforcement, canine support. we will continue to do assessments and we will have a robust presence of these -- at the facility as we all as have. currently this is about the contact management and not losing confidence in our ability to provide security and law-enforcement support. fps has 2100 dhs facilities across the nation. fema headquarters, secret service headquarters, tsa

the route i take is i usually tell dhs. in this case i'll tell dhs via a plays that they have ics certificate. the cyber emergency response team. i spends my findings to them it. since this is a medical device they have a channel with the fda. the fda will be notified then the fda will notify the vendor and they start working on a fix. >> the wheels of government turn so slowly, this is the kind of information that you want back to vendor very quickly. >> yes, exact. >> i. >> do you get the sense that it gets turned over rapidly. >> i think it does. the fixes do not get turned over very rapidly. so if we look at the historical, you know, context that we have for devices like this, it could take years for a software update to come out for a device like this. >> wow. >> so that's a big window. right? for any kind of devise, so hopefully things move faster in the future, but right now it is a slow process. >> well, unlikely allies are teaming up to protect you from potential internet bugs, up next we discuss the crucial market

that begin, the relationship we've forged with dhs is offering to dhs portal but either tools or instruction how to eliminate given malware. >> i will look forward to more communication with this issue as we go into private session, and otherwise. but i think all of you for your work. i think it's very important for the american people to recognize these issues and don't think of them always as just remotely affecting big businesses or corporations, that everyday americans as you said affecting not just our nation but our neighborhoods. i think this is part of our responsibility is to open up an awareness and appreciation for the very scope and nature of this threat. thank you for testament. looked hearing -- look for doing more at a later time. >> thank you, mr. chairman. monday indictment of the five chinese military hackers for computer hacking in economic espionage was the sort of legal action taken by the ag is a standard tactic in espionage and sends a clear signal to the other side that their actions have become intolerable but it's just beginning of a long process. the indictment all

dhs, how have they helped you with this challenge? >> we actually hire the person that did the dhs -- but because of personal problems, she had to leave us. >> ishii in this room? >> is margot here? had some serious personal problems and i think we'll have to leave us. the biggest problem is in undervaluing the assets, which is not an issue we have confronted yet. we have margot with us and we will continue to benefit from that. >> we wish her well. >> let's assume that gao is right on improper payments and fiscal validation. you disagreed with them, and you said you made some changes in how you are doing that. they are right and you are wrong. if we make that assumption, we don't know how all of the money is spent. and we don't know the accuracy of the improper payments. of $700 billion is $7 billion in oklahoma. i don't know what it is up here, but that is what it is. $7 billion is a lot of money. and i can tell you that i'm skeptical of ever hearing of improper payments from the dod, simply because of the massive size of it. let's

stupid stories dh. guests. it is. it's my two daughters. that's when he stumbles. sometimes when you think. asked what is the bike seats. a dogs. a pretty decent office the country land. when stifled. it was a teenage and adult. stop trying. in short. he starts did not exhibit an increase of niger. he is. the team. a site that sometimes good last week. it happened. into this pizza faced bite. it was not meant to vacation. he made use of them. people often like you would just be all you. costs. the new ball was hit in its duration so whats the sky. i might be over soon and often management committee hall the next day. nobody. before you do see yesterday's post that's great. fine cool day geez my youtube. he was in sydney. all the fun. i'm moderating. lust. yun. peace peace peace. come to my house why should he die. so too is in today. peace peace peace concrete. no other reason is because in disgust and horror when a prison so am i right incentives and then use the circular file. he's going to do anything she says. did you. next to it. he's been getting into the mem

it was very interesting when the secretary of dhs testified -- lou: jeh johnson. >> jeh johnson this week, he ducked the question completely whether he supports one of i think the most significant bellwethers of immigration enforcement, secure communities, which merely alerts dhs when there is an illegal alien criminal booked into jail. he is not willing to back that program. lou: the four bills passed out by the house judiciary committee, i have endorsed them as, as the reform of immigration that is required. it is incrow meant, sensible, predicated upon security at our borders as well as internal security. and moving forward, it is rejected out of hand by president obama, the activist groups because it is too rational. and that in of itself is beyond comprehension. >> right. there is no right for the president to take executive action on a matter that lies within the domain of congress. the sense of entitlement is absolutely curious, well, if you don't pass immigration reform bill i want, this summer i will do it on my own. that he has no constitutional basis to do that. lou: we ha

>> apparently not if you are the watchdog at dhs. >> he couldn't answer that. he said i don't know if that would be the appropriate punishment or not. these people should be in jail. democratic senators on the panel saying why didn't you make any sentence republicans calling for it of the i.d. only has limited resource was. get in the other law enforcement agencies and this is a nationwide problem. in this isn't isolated i understand as shinawatra then secy said the other day. you need as much help as they company get. >> neither gave impressive performance. >> sen seq.y. >> sen seq.y is not going anywhere for a while. >> why this. >> this move was part of. i was there at the hearing and went around and talked to people about what his fate is on capitol hill. people said they are billing to give him a chance. the problem is he has been there for some time and this has been happening end his. the buck has to stop some place. >> i am a ventricle. choose -- he was very popular. >> let him go back to active duty. >> he inherited a huge mess. awful i'm saying he has

and magically dhs has managed to do business them and continue on without this even started. so i think that it is clear that this is not going to happen in both parties don't have the political will in terms of the funding. because sometimes i get tweets africa munger show segment you saying that you guys complain about the government. so it's why we talk about it all the time. but the ei is a different story. the fbi building on pennsylvania avenue is very old, ancient, it's far too cramped and they can't update it for a modern economy or modern amenities. so they are swapping and say give us bids and we will give you this property which is prime property and that makes sense. so that is the government doing something right that the ths progress in turn project is a boondoggle. gerri: there are people in government are trying to say that they are doing the right thing as well. so listen to this. the tsa and dhs say that they haven't received the appropriations of any further keeping the project on the original schedule. the commodity market and cost increase. so they say it

hadn't used them on the construction crew working on the brakes he was trying to feel the pinch of that dh had failed to get commission from the local government officials had ordered the construction has stopped several times. it is so pretty. the subject was on the brakes. over the three day meeting holiday from testing to summer break police are investigating four people including vintage map and a construction company with consent and. a citizens group in hong kong has organized a run in case the chinese government to the barley to crackdown on pro democracy protest as in nineteen ninety nine seventeen thirty nine in sunday's event ahead of the twenty fifth and intense pre teens. attendees will be crushed the protests and the teams tennis plan on teaching and forth nineteen ninety nine. people were killed or maimed jets into a different one to proceed to it cites a sympathy card listed race at the time. i was in front of a chinese company due to dispense attendance is running for the demolition of the tenement and standards the chinese government says it once it is to open scores class

do not publicly hear about attacks like this one but in this case it was part of a report issued by dhsinteresting side note, investigators believe that the utility had likely been hit by previous attacks or probes. the security of public utilities, electric grids, all of that is of growing concern across the country and on capitol hill where they have been hearing testimony about this. it appears the latest intrusion on a public utility was done via an internet entry point. something that would allow employee access into the actual control systems. the entry did have password protection but that did not stop the hacker or hackers. last year the industrial control system cyber emergency response team worked on more than 250 similar incidents. some of the weakness seems to stem from the fact that many electric grids and utilities were designed long before internet access was common and now trying to integrate the old and new technology leaves gaps. that's putting more pressure than ever on these industries to catch up and to do it quickly. neil? >> time is wasting. how serious is this? w

same time the space can revert back to the developer indeed they'll pay a couple of million dollars to dhs and not affordable so they'll have the potential of profiting from this so i, you know, i'm following up from commissioner ellington's question and comments that i'm not sure you've gone through a lot of potential destructions of how to go along with this you i feel like because of the affordability of the space and create for that that we should continue and continue with commissioner ellington's suggestion of looking into potential solutions this is the first time this is brought up. >> we can definitely look at that. and see if there's anything in the agreement that might louse allow us to do that but like i said, i think if islam i'm hearing i correctly by putting a further restriction on was nonprofit space i will just i will have to look at that to see if we can look at that asia enforceable obligation under the dissolution law >> i'll add further to commissioner mondejar's suggestion we're looking at negotiations they don't have one outcome we're hearing one outcome that doesn'

dhs secretary jay johnson taking heat today, as well, on capitol hill. >> isn't it true that i.c.e. attorneys decide whether to offer bond and set the amount of the bond? isn't it also true that the dhs could've detained most of these criminal aliens but simply chose not to? >> i look at the same list you've seen, and i've seen some pretty serious criminal convictions on those -- on that list including homicide and other things. and so i want a deeper understanding of this issue myself to make sure we're doing everything we should be doing. >> here to weigh in, fox news contributor and former bill clinton pollster and democratic strategist bernard whitman. a lot of heat going on capitol hill. from the v.a. situation now to immigration. with that many people potentially released, bernard, who have convictions like murder and rape, is that okay what he just said? he's in charge of the department. he's going to continue to look into it? is that okay? >> well, i mean, here's my position on deportations. i think anybody convicted of a violent crime like murder, sexual assault, rape and t

the b h s thinks is necessary and our map experts have come up with the recommendation is we invite dhs to come and look at it transbay and give us a second opinion and eventually decide how much we need to spend >> okay. this includes the members of the public this is the - we can move into our regular calendar. item is to award the subcontract for 8 million plus for t g concrete super structure package and increasing the districts costs and increasing the authorized construction fee by 3 million 950 and authorized the sub garden insurance policy to 44.90. directors mark will report >> good morning mark with the program manager. we advertised the super structure back in 2013 to basically complete the balance of the structural concrete work for the center which is the completion of the 10 foot wall for the sandbox. also the ground floor concrete slab and the other slab the bus deck and as well as the roof-deck there are 37 feet of concrete work. the bids were open february 11th and the estimate the budget it was approved in july of 35.5 million and it was updated to $33.3 million the es

i may have covered this last time, but it bears repeating in term s of muni, dh is the line share of the department and budget, this slide gives a picture of who we are serving, i like to think of muni as the transit service for 100%. we are definitely serving low income and very, low income people that don't have choices of how to get around the safety. the safety net service, the transportation is what people need to get to school and jobs. and this data shows, and based on a survey of 22,000 customers, and it shows that we have a lot of very low-income folks that ride muni and a pretty large percentage that don't own a vehicle, and likely don't have a lot of choices of how to get around town. one good thing we have found over the years from the rider survey that we do every two or three years, generally, that satisfaction with muni service is positive and increasing. it's maybe not where we want it to be, but coming up on two-thirds of folks saying that they are giving an excellent or good rating to their satisfaction with muni. that's something to feel good about. we do

. >> yeah, the majority of the dhs will come from leverage, we are not providing additional capital fund for renovation. >> you will continue to provide the same dollar amount? >> what you will get, the dollars convert from a grant that you get from capital and operating funds. they will convert to project-based rental assistance. they end up being equivalent, because you have that long-term contract you can leverage debt. that you wouldn't with a bank, i am not going to lend because i don't know how much money you will get next year. this stabilizes that. >> the last question is residents of public housing and the ability for them to get gainfully employed. can someone silence their cell phone, please? in past instances with public housing in particular, there are individuals who have gotten jobs that are residents of public housing. and in some cases they are a little above the requirement to stay in public housing. but they can't necessarily afford another place to live in san francisco. so they end up getting priced out of their unit in public housing and some many cases forced to le

there has been a real effort -- traditionally dhs has supported the first number of people they have encountered and under the obama administration they have systematically tried to prioritize people they consider a high priority. host: we will talk about immigration for the next 45 minutes. we set aside a fourth line for immigrants. that includes legal and illegal immigrants. we did this before on washington journal. we do not keep your phone numbers. we simply want to hear your stories. how did you get in, what were do you feelns, how about changes in u.s. immigration policy? the line is set aside. this is for both legal and illegal immigrants. is it easy to get into this country? host: -- guest: to get in lawfully it is a pretty competitive and difficult -- the two main mechanisms, family and employee based, the waiting list can be 20 years, 50 years, or even longer. if you are entitled to be in line you may have to wait for those countries. for employee base to the weight can be 10 years based on your skills and what country you are coming from. that is part of the problem. host:
