mr. goodlatte's bill. of course, also, one of those bills was the aguilar-hurd bill that was a product of both democrats and republicans coming together working on a solution. unfortunately, we weren't given the opportunity to vote on all these four bills, and the current bill on the floor today does not offer a pathway to citizenship for dreamers and, of course, it does not address the current problem of reuniting children who are separated from their families. i ask my colleagues, please reject this legislation. i ask the speaker to have the opportunity to vote on the aguilar-hurd bill. thank you. mr. goodlatte: madam speaker, i'm pleased to yield three minutes to the gentleman from idaho, mr. lab dore, the chairman of the immigration border security of the judiciary committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from idaho is ecognized for three recognized for three minutes. mr. labrador: this bill provides the tools needed to enforce our immigration laws, eis cure our borders and begin the process o

mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i move to suspend the rules and creeper act 5, the of 2018. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 4655, a bill to amend title 18, united states code, to prohibit the importation or transportation of child sex dolls, and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from virginia, mr. goodlatte, and the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from virginia. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and and to heir remarks include extraneous materials on h.r. 4655 currently under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: today we consider the curbing realistic exploitative electronic of 2017.c robots act it cri

mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. goodlatte: gangs are a poison in america. they bring violence, drugs, and death. they paralyze our communities with flagrant acts of violence and flood our neighborhoods with drugs. gang tear apartamilies by prema turrill taking the lives -- prematurely taking the lives of parents and children. some of our neighborhoods have been overrun by gang violence. homicide rates skyrocket in gobalt16. compared to the previous five years, 2016 represented a 15.8% increase in homicides in st. louis. 12.7% increase in baltimore. 11.4% increase in chicago. we must stand up to violent gangs and provide an antidote to their poison. h.r. 3249 is a vital part of the antidote. this legislation reforms and re-authorizes the project safe neighborhoods block grant program. this program operates under four key principles -- partnerships, strategic planning, training, and outreach. fir

mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i claim time in opposition. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: this motion to recommit deals only with a red herring that fixes nothing but ensures that catch and release will remain in effect. the american people want a holistic approach to reforming immigration laws that focuses on enforcement first before legalization. the motion to recommit does not do that. h.r. 3136 helps solve the problem with a surge of people coming illegally into the united states by funding the border wall construction and other infrastructure at the border and closes the loopholes that require catch and release of aliens who have entered illegally. the bill begins the process of reforming the way u.s. green cards are allocated and it provides a path to legalization for the daca eligible population. h.r. 3136 addresses the areas that need to be addressed in immigration, enforcement, including a true fix to the issue of separation o

mr. goodlatte, the author of h.r. 4760. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. goodlatte: i thank the gentleman from texas for yielding me this time and for his hard work on this issue as well. this is a very good bill. it's not something that was cooked up overnight. this bill was introduced six months ago. it's based upon legislation that's passed out of the judiciary committee in previous congresses, and some of it in this congress. it is a good effort to make sure that we're addressing all three aspects of immigration law that need to be addressed. it has a very good proposal with regard to the daca recipients. they get a legal status permanently for the rest of their lives. renewable every three years, as long as they don't commit a crime. that's a statutory protection. that's not something that's subject to court challenges. it's not something that's subject to the whims of any president, past, present, or future. it is something that allows them then to avail themselves of existing pa

mr. goodlatte's bill. mr. congressman, it's good to see you, sir. you opposed the bob goodlatte bill. why did you vote against it? >> i opposed to sanctuary cities. under his bill they would cut funding to police in those cities. it would have put my constituents worse. why would recut funding off to the police. it would have been cut. it's important to stop crime. they have to find another place to cut the funding. >> this bill next weeks includes the $25 billion for the wall. if the funding is not appropriated it will cuff off relief for the daca recipients. will you vote for the bill next week? >> yes, i'm strongly supporting it. this bill is tougher than the original goodlatte bill. he's the sponsor of both bills. also -- >> thank you for that classification. that's right. >> on the second bill, also this will address the families being reunited and they won't torn apart. >> congress, at the end of the day. you won't get support from your democratic colleagues, right is the president right to forget this issue until after the midterms. >> i would disagree with the president on tha

mr. goodlatte, who did, in fact, have his bill on the floor and they lost. that i speaker, i regret don't know what is going to be next week. because we need to take action. and we need to take action not by compromising with one side of the aisle and see only . pitulation by some we do need compromise. we do need action. and we need action that can pass the senate. the will yield back balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? mr. mccarthy: i ask unanimous consent when the house adjourns today it meet on monday june 25, 2018 when it shall convene at noon for morning hour debate and >> the house next week takes of the $675 billion defense spending bill. leo shane with "military times". what are the main priorities versus the president's request? >> it is pretty close to the president's request. and looking at the same level of military end strength. and same level for the military pay raise. and generally the same level of funding. littl

mr. goodlatte all calling for a second special counsel and the silence from our speaker is deafening. speaker ryan needs to step up, join news a call for a second counsel and stop defending the fbi collection of evidence op the trump campaign when they renews to givrefuse to give us e investigation. we know that fbi b their procedures. bruce orr broke procedures when he didn't discloses that his wife had a moonlight job for fusion gps. rod rosenstein didn't discloses that christopher steele had been terminated by the fbi for lying. and yet asking a court to rely on his statements. we need stronger leadership from our speaker supporting the work of those fighting in the trenches to get real answers for the american people. lou: let me ask you, congressman, why in the world would your conference not say 's enough, mr. lame duck speaker, get the hell out of the office. you're going to send us to destruction in the midrm elections. this man doesn't have a plan. he doesn't have a sategy. he disunt raise money that any other speaker couldn't raise. he certainly is not a strategic thinker. h

mr. goodlatte, thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you, wolf. >> we'll get what we just heard from senator warren, her comments of what she saw and heard from detainees. they're trying to escape awful situations despite. they're here seeking asylum in the united states. what's your reaction? >> this is the wrong way to go about doing it. they should apply at the embassy in these countries. if they feel they need to escape the country t you can even apply there or in the embassy there. usi using. and then across deserts and rivers to illegally enter the united states, the wrong way to do it. once they're here, if the only. they should be kept with their children. if they've committed other crimes, they're smuggling drugs themselves or this is not the first time, because if you attempt to reenter the united states after deporting rkts that is a. most people should be with their children. the problem that we have is the administration is up against court decisions and a 10, remember 20 and rejs lags -- in the case of the department of justice, more than 72 hours. and kwh and. >> and y

mr. goodlatte: mr. chairman, i thank chairman marino. mr. chairman, kristen adored her little brother garrett. she cherished his warm heart and bigger than life personality. she loved her brother unconditionally, as did her mother and father, bobby and dawn. naufment, on february 9, -- unfortunately, on february 9, and dawn lost their son. kristen lost her little brother and only sibling. sadly, tens of thousands of family across the nation lost their loved ones to the opioid crisis. according to the centers for disease control, drug overdoses killed over 64,000 americans in 2016, a staggering increase of over 21% from 2015. of those souls lost, over 20,000 deaths were caused by synthetic opioids, the same type of drug that took garrett's life. regrettably, the suffering shows no signs of slowing as deaths from synthetic opioids have more than doubled from last year. synthetic drugs can be more potent and deadly than the real thing. however, when law enforcement encounters a certain synthetic drug compound and takes steps under current feder

mr. goodlatte bill and the one that the speaker might be putting forward.y may fail there also something that the democrats would like to offer that not only help out the dreamers but i do believe that the democrats really would like to come to the table with the republicans to work on this. but the president needs to understand policy wise, we should stop separating children from their parents. >> dana: let me change subjects, and that is that the dnc has made a decision about how to deal with the future and, you know, i'm for strong parties. i think that the party should be strong. the republican party, the democratic party. it just is better for our system of government. what happened at the dnc that changed things that might effect bernie sanders? >> well, first of all, the dnc will be meeting this summer in chicago. the 50th anniversary of that famous year 1968. we will consider what i call a litany of reforms. to strengthen the party, to expand the party, but, also, in the long term to strength and one requirement is that if you are running for a dele

mr. bob goodlatte 4760, called r. securing america's future act of 2018. that bill only gives temporary status to young people who have grown up in this country. it makes deep cuts to legal immigration. it prevents legal immigrants from sponsoring their family members to enter the united states, and of course it boosts enforcement. it is a punitive bill. certainly not a very hopeful bill. and even if it could pass this house, it's not going to pass the senate. then there is this mysterious new bill that speaker ryan calls a compromise bill. and the compromise bill we may vote on next week still isn't written. but it follows the framework, we're told, set forward by the white house. legal status for dreamers, increased border security, including funding for a wasteful, ineffective border wall, an end to the diversity visa lottery, and curbing family-based legal immigration. wow. there's so many people who have come to our office who want to marry someone who's waiting in another country, how many decades are they going to have to wait? just an hour ago a su

bring the goodlatte bill which has been reported out of the republican judiciary committee to the floor. bring a bill co-sponsored by mr. hurd and mr. action lar to the floor. -- and mr. aguilar to the floor, and then what we hope is the speak every can bring a bill to the floor of his choosing. what could be fairer than that, to let the people's house speak on this critically important issue? so i would hope the gentleman would facile tit that coming to the floor. lastly, mr. speaker, let me say that this is the most closed congress in history. talks about coming to his office and i have and we have worked constructively and positively together and i have great respect for the majority leader. i know she's very close to president trump. he's talked about his working with president trump to move forward and let us hope that the talks with korea bear fruit. we've had a lot of talks with the koreans. they've made a lot of pledges. and they haven't followed them. we will see what happens. we're hoping for the best. but in coming to your office, we have had discussions. we've had discussions about daca. but very frankly wh

goodlatte bill was always the answer. comment on that and on your negotiating partners. nd oh, we are very close and doing a couple more things. we need you guys to do this? mr. denham: that was said several times. will it get you to yes. are you co-authoring the bill. we had a number of discussions. it has been very fruss traiting. reporter: at what point do you reach out to democrats? i think the democrats worked with you on the discharge petition and are very frustrated -- [inaudible] mr. denham: they were surprised hat we were able to get to 15, 17 and then to 23. i feel very strong we stepped out and made sure that we were voicing to our own party how important this issue is and brought it up to a new debate. i was very confident that we had over 218. but obviously there were some that were convinced that we would get a republican-only bill that would have the president's support that would pass today and didn't happen. we need to get a bipartisan bill and i think it's going to take a lot of support and even some pressure from the american public to get both sides of the aisle to work together on it. >> and let me add to that, we were not operating in a

the goodlatte bill which is essentially a republican bill, and the herd aguilar which is a bipartisan bill worked on very hard by mrrepublican, and mr. aguilar, a democrat, and has some 245 which means we have 193 so there's some 50 republicans who have signed on to this as well. not the discharge petition, but the rule itself, meaning that we have clearly well over 218 votes for the hurd/aguilar compromise. but i would hope that they would bring that to the floor, let this be considered. the speaker, when he was elected speaker, said he was going to take the tough issues head on. >> true. >> obviously this is a tough issue and the republican party is deeply divided. the freedom caucus wants one thing a large number of republicans want another thing. what the speaker ought to do is let the housework its will. let the representatives of the american people make a decision based upon a majority vote. it seems to me that is not a hard thing to ask them to do, but i haven't seen their alternative, kasie, so i don't want to comment on whether i would be open to supporting it. obviously your premise -- >> i am happy to t
