Washington, D.C. — Rep. Matt Salmon
(AZ-05) today issued the following statement on news that the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) had released three dangerous illegal aliens into Pinal
County, Arizona.
“Despite the repeated attacks on American citizens
by illegal aliens released from our jails, DHS refuses to stop freeing violent
criminals who are in our country illegally. Just yesterday, we learned of
three more individuals set free on law-abiding Arizonans by the Department of
Homeland Security. Their crimes included the beating to death of a
seven-week-old baby and the stabbing, beating, and immolation of a police
informant
Washington, D.C. — Chairman of the
House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific Matt Salmon (AZ-05) today released
the following statement on Prime Minister Abe’s World War Two anniversary
remarks.
“This past week marked the 70th anniversary of the
end of World War II and the United States remembers the many sacrifices it and
other countries made towards a lasting peace. Asian nations are continuing to
heal and remain hardened to historical offenses that occurred during the War.
While it is very difficult to move beyond a history of past aggressions, I
recognize Prime Minister Abe’s remorseful apology to those impacted by hurtful
acts during the War, and I welcome Prime Minister Abe’s commitment to uphold
prior Japanese cabinet statements on history. The omission of certain
terminology and references did leave some to be desired, though it is my hope
that our Asian neighbors can understand and appreciate fully the intentions
behind Japan’s regrets over its actions in the 20th century. I hope that future
generations can work towards reconciliation and towards a more prosperous and c
future together.”

Secretary Johnson,
On November 7, 2014, I alerted
you to a very serious flaw in our current immigration enforcement system that
continues to result in senseless tragedies across the nation. In my letter, I
highlighted the high recidivism rate of criminal illegal aliens who had been
turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
I also explained that this
Administration’s failed interior enforcement policies had resulted in the
murder of two California sheriff’s deputies by an illegal alien with an
extensive criminal history. In fact, this lengthy criminal history included at
least four arrests for various offenses in Maricopa County, Arizona alone.
Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the
