But when it comes to these raids, I think they are problematic.

But I think...

The other issue is that the municipalities are not cooperating to deport those criminals.

So if they're not turning over these people, which in New York City recently there was an article saying 7,000 individuals, including murderers and rapists, were released back onto the street instead of turned over to ICE.

And so when you have a situation where the local government is not cooperating to enforce the laws of our nation, these raids happen.

Because now they've got to go in there and find those criminals.

And the problem is you're putting...

public at risk, you're putting those officers at risk.

And so we really do need to see a cooperation, some common ground that we're going to focus on those criminals, but we need these local governments to cooperate with us.

And then the second part of this is obviously immigration reform.

You know, there's a group of us Hispanic Republicans who met with the speaker recently.

We've been

also pushing for a meeting with the president himself to talk about the need for immigration reform.

I represent a district where we have a very diverse population.

And even this Ukrainian parole program, that's now, when people have to renew for that, it's taking a very long time.

And these people are here legally and working, and they end up losing their jobs because they can't get their parole renewed.

And we're seeing the same thing with work authorizations and visas.

People who are here doing the right thing, follow the rules.

They're working hard.

They're paying taxes.
