Congressman Cohen Questions Experts on Immigration

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today questioned expert witnesses at a Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement hearing on “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America.”

Congressman Cohen focused his questions on enforcement priorities: “Do you think DACA kids who’ve been in this country for maybe 20 or 25 years, been good citizens, maybe been in the military, the National Guard or something, should be rounded up and deported as well?”

He continued: “The election is over and we need to find common ground…What we need is legislation that is thought out – not ‘common sense’ – but logical, thought-out and planned.”

Witnesses at today’s hearing were: 

• John Fabbricatore, Former ICE Field Office Director, Visiting Fellow, The Heritage Foundation; 
• Jessica Vaughan, Director of Policy Studies, Center for Immigration Studies; 
• Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project; and
• David Bier, Director of Immigration Studies, CATO Institute
