JOIN US LIVE from the Cabinet Room- IMMIGRATION ROUNDTABLE.... We are here today to discuss two crucial votes taking place in Congress tomorrow on vital public safety and national security legislation. We are joined by the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte. Bob is one of the most skilled legislators in Congress, and he has worked with law enforcement to write a series of critical immigration bills that will close dangerous loopholes exploited by criminals, gang members, drug dealers, killers, and terrorists. Also with us today are Congressmen Peter King, Lou Barletta, and David Young. Tomorrow, the House will vote on the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, which will cut federal grant money to cities that shield dangerous criminal aliens from being turned over to federal law enforcement. The House will also vote on Kate’s Law – named for Kate Steinle, who was killed by an illegal immigrant who had been deported five times. This law will enhance criminal penalties for those who repeatedly re-enter the country illegally. Countless innocent Americans – including the loved ones of many families in the room with us today – have been killed by illegal immigrants with multiple deportations. I am especially honored to be here with so many courageousfamilies whom I got to know so well during the campaign. You lost the people you loved because our government refused to enforce our nation’s immigration laws. For years, the pundits, journalists and politicians in Washington refused to hear your voices. But, on Election Day 2016, your voices were heard across THE ENTIRE WORLD. Chairman Goodlatte has produced a package of truly key immigration enforcement bills. This package includes the Davis-Oliver Act – whose passage I called for nearly a year ago at my immigration speech in Phoenix, Arizona. The Davis-Oliver Act was named for Detective Michael Davis and Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver, who were gunned down in the line of duty by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and two prior deportations. Their incredibly brave widows honored us with their presence at my address to Congress. Today we are privileged to be joined by Melissa Oliver, the daughter of Deputy Sheriff Oliver. Melissa, your father was a HERO and we will never forget him. We are calling on ALL members of Congress to honor grieving American Families by passing these life-savingmeasures in the House, IN THE SENATE, and sending them to my desk for signature. It is time to support our police, to protect our families, and to SAVE AMERICAN LIVES. So with that, I’d like to ask each of the families and invited guests to say a few words and to share your stories with the American People, beginning with my good friend Jamiel Shaw.
