MR. SCOTT, -
TO INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE THE PROBLEMS WITH THAT

| 01:42:51 |
THE CHAIRMAN, -
TO DEPORT SOMEONE AS A TERRORIST WHO
|
| 01:42:54 |

THE CHAIRMAN, -

|
| 01:47:29 |
MR. GREEN, -
THEM FOR MANY OF THE VERY SAME OFFENSES. THIS HINDERS OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT
|
| 01:47:35 |
Hostettler, John N. - U.S. Representative, [R] Indiana
AMERICANS FROM THOSE TERRORISTS WHO HAVE INFILTRATED THE UNITED STATES. THIS MAKES ALIENS DEPORTABLE FOR THE SAME EXTENT THEY WOULD NOT BE ADMITTED...
|
| 01:49:18 |
THE CHAIRMAN, -
CHAIRMAN, I THINK WHAT'S INTERESTING TO LISTEN TODAY ARE THE ARGUMENTS ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHERE THEY CANNOT WIN ON THE MERITS THEY CHOOSE TO THROW UP...
