LIVE NOW: From Acting Attorney General Acting AG Todd Blanche's Opening Statement at the Nomination Hearing: "I’ve lived the American dream. I waited tables to get through college, moved to New York with my wife and two young kids, went to law school at night, and read my textbooks on the late train home while I worked days as a paralegal in the U.S. Attorney’s Office… My family’s blessings should be available to all Americans. When a family can send their kids to school, walk their neighborhood after dark, and build a life without fear, every promise of the American dream is within reach. When they cannot, none of it is. That is my job. Securing safety for every American."

There is a legal pathway for you to come into this country. You do not have to hand your life over to smugglers and the cartels they work for because they don’t care about your life; they only care about your money.”
