i think of recent cases within maybe the last two years about murders in northern virginia, murders in maryland. the tibbetts family then, the people of iowa as well, and i hope all american public feel they deserve answers. based on the information i do have, it seems this murder was preventable. stricter border security measures, including increased personnel, enhanced technology and modernized infrastructure could have prevented this man from crossing the border. in other words, secure the border. stronger interior enforcement, and addressing weaknesses in e-verify could have prevented this individual from working and would have allowed immigration enforcement authority to initiate removal proceedings years ago. earlier this week president trump invited officers and agents of customs and border patrol, border protection and immigration and custom enforcement to the white house to thank all these people and the people under him for all they do on a daily basis to protect americans. recent events are a stark reminder as to how much we need these hardworking men and women. amidst cries from the

civil war, he tried to join northern infantry units, but he was too old and he did not serve in a unit at the beginning of the war. he did manage to go to frederick, maryland and get a job as a wagon driver teamster for a union regiment. and apparently, at the battle of falling waters early in the war. he would tell the story that he was actually on the site of the battle. but it doesn't appear that he was there either. and what is fascinating about it, he is presented as being a combat veteran of many wars, and it appears to me that the first was he actually saw combat on the afternoon of july 1, 1863. and i go into detail about this in the book. he was very well known in the gettysburg area. according to his own account, when he moved here, he got a job as a cobbler. he married a local girl, barbara hagerman. for a time, he was a cobbler. he actually was the town constable for different years on and off. at some point, he was a heavy reformedbut then, he and he was actually involved heavily in the local temperance party. and gave lectures. and i found his name in the newspaper associated with several temperance conventions and the temperance party was bi
