i know within one mile of my house and i'm sure close to where ms. rice lives, they're digging up bodies of people who have been butchered by ms-13 members. are there any signs of ms-13 members partnering with traditional drug cartels? >> internationally? >> internationally, yeah. >> yes. they control neighborhoods. just like here in the united states, ms-13 and 18th street gang members distribute drugs in their countries. so they are an essential part of the distribution network of drugs in their countries for local consumption there. and there are indications, although not in large ways, but there are indications that they do cooperate with the drug trafficking organizations that are sending drugs into the united states. >> so i would say our intelligence tells us or informs us that most of the relationships are opportunistic in nature. the ms-13 would be subordinate to the larger drug cartels that we're familiar with and we've worked for years. ms-13 is used as enforcers for particular shipments and/or distribution rings in some of the communities here

rice: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. speaker. i'd also like to thank the minority leader, ms. pelosi, for her plea on behalf of the daca recipients. she certainly showed great passion and stamina. i do wonder, however, why she is so concerned now. you see, this is not a new problem. all these people who qualify for daca today had to be here by the year 2007. they were here illegally, in the united states, during those two years when ms. pelosi served as speaker of the house. andujarry reid was the leader -- and harry reid was the leader of a supermajority of democrats in the senate and barack obama was president. and yet she took no action then. they could have passed a law, rather than having president obama sign an illegal executive order, and given the daca kids a pathway to citizenship. but i guess it wasn't a priority then. last month my home county in south carolina settled a claim brought by the united states department of justice. it seems the department determined that our county wasn't doing enough to accommodate students that couldn't speak english. well, you'd thin
