here is what mr. zeldin said earlier today for immigration reform. >> better interior enforcement with the catch and release to end the visa lottery. we need to fix if you want to fix if you want to fix that they were up against opposition, obstructionism in congress, but we have to fight through it and we need to shame these democrats if they're not willing to do the right thing on their own. >> joining me now is theresa cardinal brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the bipartisan policy center. really good to have you with us. i would like to start here at the bipartisan policy center while studying in scrutinizing u.s. immigration policy. what is the most possible comprehensive immigration plan that you've been able to come up with. >> well, we think we need to address different parts of the immigration system altogether. i think what the congressman said they are, he's talking about a lot of different things together. how do we address criminal immigrants and gangs. but is one

why now we have 25 individuals in the house of remits who support mr. zeldin's resolution. >> i wanted you to be able to get out your full case. 25, not an impressive number with how many people you have who are trying to support the president's theories, no matter how wild they are. it seems to me -- >> the chairman of the judiciary called for it, the chair of the oversight committee. >> only 25 people. >> we just introduced it yesterday. majority chip and majority leader called for it. a number of p people who have real influence are calling for a second special counsel. >> rank and file is slow on it because they know it seems to be something that would take us down the road of more of the same in terms of politicized nonsense. this is why i say that, jim. let me give you a chance to respond. if what you said was not true, that these people hadn't been removed, people who were identified as being in this way negative influences on the administration of justice, if they were still there, then you would have something, my friend. you would be able to s

and mr. meadows indicated he's not spoken to the white house about this resolution and i've not spoken about the resolution so i don't know if other members of congress have but the principle author of the work product filed today have not spoken with the president or the white house about the specifics. obviously there is a lot of information referenced regarding the status of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation, the double standard at the fbi and the level of bias at the fbi and over time i've had discussions with the white house with b those issues but not about this today. >> and you slammed jeff sessions over a decision to recuse himself, rooted in justice department guidelines. you said this before mr. sessions. let's roll the tape. >> over in the department of justice, he's got stockholm syndrome and -- >> and the entire justice department and intelligence apparatus and leadership was appointed by president trump. so who is the deep state you're referring to? is it the fbi directo

lewis of georgia for today and tomorrow, and mr. zeldin of new york for today. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the requests are granted. under -- under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the gentleman from california, mr. khanna, is recognized for 60 members as designee of the my in order leader. mr. khanna: thank you. i want to speak about the janice vs. ask me supreme court case, economic inequality. the issue of our time is economic inequality and a challenge of the middle class being left behind. we know that 81%, 81% of american households between 2005 to 2015 have not had a raise. they have actually either had their wages stagnate or their wages decline. this is an issue that goes to the core principles of our nation. as every american knows, in 1968, dr. king marched with nitation workers in memphis, with local 1733. and the march was not just about racial justice. the march was about economic justice. the march was about the freedom of sanitation workers to earn what dr. king called a decent living. about the dignity of work.

mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize casa familya, a nonprofit organization in my congressional district dedicated to serving individuals with special needs. casa familia was founded by eight families with special needs children and i'm proud to have known one of the founders, lourdes sanchez for many years. they came together to solve a real problem in south florida. the lack of affordable quality housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or i.d.d. sadly, close to one million floridians are diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability and are unable to live independently. that is where they come in. this outstanding organization provides affordable housing solutions, vocational training, and employment services for adults with i.d.d. they are also planning an integrate residential community that will offer a variety of recreational activities and educational programs to ensure that residents continue to grow and develop. mr. speaker, i woul

congressman zeldin, thank you. mr. clovis predicts there will be congressional hearings on this. he believes they will reveal bad behavior at the top of the obama administration. that is sam clovis who says he did meet with that alleged informant. congressman zeldin. thank you. >> sandra: new details emerging on the police response to the sante fe school rampage. a sheriff says although lives were lost many were saved with how quickly officers encountered the gunmen after they were called to the scene. john barnes was seriously wounded by a shotgun blast. >> eric: officer barnes is a hero. two officers that engaged that individual within approximately four minutes are heroes. they contained him in that one area. isolated to them, engaging with them so he did no more damage to other classrooms. >> sandra: casey stiegel is live. how is officer barnes doing? >> four days after the shooting officer barnes remains in critical condition today. he was rushed into emergency surgery on friday and frankly we have not seen a change in his medical condition. in other words, he has not been u

mr. speaker, i strongly, strongly oppose this resolution, which will actually encourage discrimination against people of color who want to buy cars. . . you know -- i know my republican colleagues claim this is about a rulemaking process -- process. but let's be clear. this is not about process. this is about discrimination. this issue is very simple. financial institutions that make auto loans have an obligation not to discriminate against borrowers based on the color of their skin. this has been the law since congress passed the equal credit opportunity act over 43 years ago. the consumer financial protection bureau found compelling evidence that when financial institutions allow auto dealers to increase the interest rates on auto loans for specific borrowers that come into their dealership, minority borrowers were systemically charged a higher rate. in other words, this particular practice resulted in illegal lending discrimination. so the consumer financial protection bureau did what
