The Republican-controlled House and Senate are pushing ahead with a law designed to cede some federal immigration enforcement power to the states and usher in a harsher new era of immigration detention.
Transcript
00:00As promised, we're starting today with border security.
00:02If you polled the populace and the voters, they would tell you that that was the top of the list.
00:07And we have a lot to do there to fix it.
00:09It's an absolute disaster because of what has happened over the last four years.
00:13And the Lake and Rowley Act is a big part of that.
00:15It is very clear that House Republicans are going to push an anti-immigrant agenda.
00:20There are serious flaws in this bill.
00:22It did not come up before the Judiciary Committee.
00:24This has not gone through the normal traditional process.
00:27We're going to continue to have robust discussions about immigration policy, about border security.
00:33The Democratic Caucus believes in the rule of law.
00:36We also believe in a process.
00:40And we believe in the fundamental principle that people accused of crimes have the ability to respond.
00:51And that doesn't mean that if you're accused of a crime, you should be deported.
