mr. healy, it's been argued an accurate entry exit system would enhance isis' enforcement efforts by reducing need to review overstay leads that turn out to be false positives: one quarter of the leads were individual whose had already departed the country. could you explain to the committee how leads are generated and sent to the field i know offices? i know you addressed that a little bit in the answer to my colleague from texas. >> yes, i can sir. so the information, the referral is received from adis, arrival departure information system. from there it gets plugged into the automated targeting system. it starts to work with my organization, this is all basically automated, sir. first thing we're going to do is bouncing it up to the intelligence community a batch we'll request. we'll send it next over to cis to see how many are basically in compliance or have applied for then benefits. then we'll send it back, sir, to adis to see how many have departed in that window between receipt and when

mr. healy that the penalty both? >> we'll take that for the record. the chair recognizes mr. smith from texas for five minutes. >> okay. thank you, madam chairwoman. i didn't know if you were giving him more time or not. let me direct my first questions to you mr. healey. i have a particular interest in overstayers, in 1996 i introduced a bill that became law that has not been fully implemented. and if that law had been implemented i think we would have done a lot to address the problem of visa overstayers. last year, i think the administration deported about 2,500 visa over stayers, is that accurate? and is that the fewest number of any year under this administration? >> i'd have to check and get back to you i'm not sure. >> let me tell you what the figures are and ask you the question again. this administration removed 12,500 in '09. 11,210, 10400. 2011, 6,800, 42 in 2013. 3,500 in 214. 2,500, 2015. this is, in fact the fewest number ever deported by this administration in one year. i'd like

mr. healy: good morning. thank you for the opportunity to .c.e.'se -- discuss i role. over 30 years i have spent my career in law enforcement and i recognize overstaying is an important issue. homeland security investigations, through our terrorism unit, is dedicated to identifying and action on enforcement the overstay her's. it is accomplished and close we betation with cdp and the system-generated leads we receive in order to identify true overstay violators for appropriate and foresman action. i.c.e. uses specific systems to identify the those who might cause concern. our agents and analysts and 25th used 625,000 hours on a overstay and foresman. theiscal year 2015, exploitation unit received approximately 971,000 system-generated potential overstay leads received from entry-exit international student databases and other systems. the system-generated leads are created using biographical and data in the system. it allows us to identify non-emigrants who have remained in the united states bey

esther craig healy -- mr. aig healy, i would be interested in student overstays, which is somewhat difficult and whether or not we include, incorporate the institution they are supposed to be going to as an assist or a partner in determining, a reporting feature that universities have to utilize with respect to students. i would add employment as well because a lot of visas, individuals have their families without then employment, looking for employment they may be considered an overstay. >> i was going to ask about student visas in my next round so i will ask the panelists to answer concerns about the student visa process. those are not in this report just so we know. i want to note esther healy, in your testimony you said for ctc eu's frowny one list, you listed a series of projects and initiatives and one of them is called the recurrent vetting program. let's talk about the student visa process and compliance with universities, information flow in how that works. ma'am. in terms of the student exchange and v

mr. healy. >> thank you ranking member sally and distinguished members. thank you for allowing me to discuss how we would benefit for the implementation of the biometric exit system. i recognize that visa over stay enforcement is an important issue for this subcommittee. i'd like to briefly outline my agency involvement by my colleagues and how we use that information. ice, homeland security investigations or hsi through orexploitation unit is dedicated to identifying and initiating enforcement action on priority over stay violators. it's accomplished in close coordination and our primary objective is to vet generated leads to prioritize true over stay violators for over stay action. ice uses dedicated special agents, analysts and cysystems specifically address over stays who may pose a national security concern. in 2015, our agents and analysts devoted approximately 660,000 investigative hours. and the criminal exploitation unit received approximately 971,000 potential over stay leads received from entry, exit, international student data bases and other

mr. trump made those remarks in november and denied, as healy noted, he went on to clock every other candidateng. why do you think this is going to be effective? >> well, first of all, donald trump is lying. everyone knows he's lying and donald trump knows he's lying because he's a divisive con man. the fact of the matter is, the reason we think these ads will work is because we're dealing with a general electorate. that is younger and more diverse and national and not just a republican primary electorate. and we know that families across the country have reached out to us to express their displeasure over his comments and we plan on telling that story starting on wednesday and continuing for the next several weeks. >> ana, as someone who doesn't particularly care for either mr. trump or mrs. clinton, what did you think of that ad? >> it hits particularly close to home. i have a brother named daniel who is 52 years old and has the mental and motor skills of a 12-month-old. when i see mr. trump mocking somebody with a disability, it makes me think of my brother and all the people like him. i th
