jamelle's law, like hr2278, will deport illegal alien gang members from the u.s.a. like hr2278, jamelle's law would not wait for them to commit other crimes. but would deport them for being in a gang while living in the country illegally. this is why we strongly support the strengthened and fortifying enforcement act, hr2278, also nope as the safe act. the safe act makes being in a gang and being in the country illegally a deportable offense. we hope all elected officials will support congressmen's bill. i would like to end by saying five years have passed and there are still many, many unanswered questions regarding the execution of my son. i would like too ask everyone here, everyone listening to hearts the people hereafter illegally, and everyone who wants to help people here illegally a question. what would you do if your child was shot in the stomach and shot in the head by an illegal illent, documented gang banger, negligently released from jail? would you still support illegal immigration and unsecured borders? i think not. thank you for giving me the opportun

the american people deserve to know how laws like the u.s.a. patriot act and the fisa amendments act are being used to conduct electronic surveillance particularly when the surveillance is not just on those that we have reason to be suspicious of, but of all americans. totally innocent americans. the american people deserve to know whether these programs have proven sufficiently effective to justify their extraordinary breadth. if you can collect billions of phone calls well, we've proven technologically apparently you can do that but do we get anything out of it? or do we get our information about terrorists the old fashioned way actually talking to people and infiltrating terrorist groups and so forth? so let's make sure that we're not doing something just because we can do it, no matter how it impacts on the rights of americans. the enhanced transparency and oversight included in the legislation will ensure we're protecting national security without underlining the -- undermining the privacy rights of law-abiding americans. i ask unanimous co

snooping on medvedev actually involved americans working for the u.s.a. based here in the u.k. at the time, the obama administration was trying to re-set relations with russia. might have been trying to re-listen as well. today u.k. prime minister david cammeron was asked if there was any eavesdropping going on this week at the summit. he said he never commits on security and intelligence matters, now two countries said to be targeted turkey and south africa. they want answers. one russian official branded medvedev administration as a scandal. they say it's widely suspected there is a fair amount of surveillance at these events and broadly assumed that even post cold war the u.s. and russia are still busy following each other. maybe we have a little bit more evidence, jon. >> jon: why am i not surprised. greg, edward snowden claims is he leaking this information to get back at president obama for breaking his campaign promises. snowden says instead of shutting down the spy programs president obama expanded them. snowden says that made him angry so it's interesting to note the t

in 2001, in 2006 and in 2011, i voted against the u.s.a. patriot act. i voted against that legislation because i believed that in a democratic and constitutional form of government, that we can effectively combat terrorism without sacrificing the civil liberties and the constitutional protections which make us a free country. the president has said that he welcomes a debate on this issue, and i agree with him. there should be a debate, and the debate should center on whether the fourth amendment to the u.s. constitution is still relevant. if it is, let's abide by it. if it isn't, let us not be hypocrites and let us acknowledge that we live in a society, in a nation in which our freedom and liberty have been severely compromised. but let us not pretend that protections that the fourth amendment guarantees exist when in fact they do not exist. here is what the fourth amendment to the constitution states -- and i quote -- "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not b
