House Passes Two Bills to Uphold the Rule of Law

0

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3003, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and H.R. 3004, Kate’s Law to stop the dangerous expansion of sanctuary city policies and enforce U.S. immigration laws.

Prior to the vote, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. spoke on the House floor in favor of both measures saying, “We are a country of laws. We must enforce them and hold accountable anyone who violates them.” 

 

So-called sanctuary cities have become a safe-haven for illegal immigrants that have committed crimes. 

They undermine federal law and put the safety of law-abiding citizens at risk.

Kate Steinle was murdered in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had seven felonies and had been deported five times.

Where was Kate’s sanctuary?

We are a country of laws. We must enforce them and hold accountable anyone who violates them.

Sarah Root was killed by an illegal immigrant street racing drunk.

Grant Ronnebeck was murdered in cold blood while working the night shift at a convenience store. 

Mr. Speaker, no family should ever have to go through what these families have faced.

Kate’s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act will help protect our communities and help protect families from these senseless and preventable tragedies.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and I yield back.

Rep. Messer Votes to Crack Down on Illegal Immigration

0

  Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) voted in support of two major pieces of legislation today to crack down on illegal immigration, restore rule of law and protect public safety.

Messer spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in support of the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Kate’s Law, which both passed the House today.

“Most Americans get it. Frankly, it’s just common sense. We can’t continue to reward folks who come to our country illegally, while those who work hard and play by the rules struggle to get ahead,” Messer said in his remarks. “It’s way past time to fix our broken immigration policies in America. Today, the House is considering two commonsense reforms to combat illegal immigration, restore rule of law, and protect public safety.

The No Sanctuary for Criminals Act (H.R. 3003) strengthens current law to combat dangerous sanctuary city policies that shield unlawful and criminal immigrants from federal immigration enforcement. The bill clarifies the authority of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and withholds certain federal grants from jurisdictions that violate federal law by prohibiting their officers from communicating with ICE.

Kate’s Law (H.R. 3004) increases penalties for deported felons who continue to break the law by re-entering the country. The law was named after 32-year-old Kate Steinle, who was tragically gunned down by a 5-time, deported felon nearly two years ago.

Both bills must now be considered by the U.S. Senate and the President to become law.

A video of Messer’s remarks is available here and full text of his remarks is below: 

“Most Americans get it. Frankly, it’s just common sense. We can’t continue to reward folks who come to our country illegally, while those who work hard and play by the rules struggle to get ahead.

It’s way past time to fix our broken immigration policies in America. Today, the House is considering two commonsense reforms to combat illegal immigration, restore rule of law, and protect public safety. 

The No Sanctuary for Criminals Act defunds sanctuary cities. Kate’s Law increases penalties for deported felons who return to America and commit further crimes. Kate’s Law was named after a young woman who was tragically gunned down by a 5-time, deported felon nearly two years ago to this day.

It’s outrageous. The federal government’s first duty is to protect its citizens. I urge my colleagues to support these much-needed reforms, and then do more to stop illegal immigration in the United States.”

Indiana Child Support Employees Honor Outstanding Peers

Indiana Child Support Employees Honor Outstanding Peers

FRENCH LICK, IN – Nine professionals whose jobs insure that children receive financial support from non-custodial parents were honored by their peers Thursday, June 29 at the 2017 Indiana Child Support Conference in French Lick.  The nine child support professionals represent the offices of elected prosecuting attorneys in nine Indiana counties.

Sharon Wilson, the LaPorte County Child Support Office’s knowledgeable “Google, Siri and Wikipedia” combined, received the prestigious Beatrice Deuel Child Support Superior Service Award. The award was created in 2007 by Indiana prosecutors in honor of Beatrice Deuel who was an employee and supervisor in the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office. The award recognizes a retiring child support worker who exemplifies the same level of dedication and commitment to service that characterized Beatrice Deuel’s service throughout her career. Wilson is an administrative assistant/caseworker who is retiring after working for LaPorte County for 22 years.

Additional honorees received the Indiana Prosecutors’ K.I.D. (Kudos for Inspiration and Dedication) Award is given in recognition of child support enforcement caseworkers who have performed their duties in an exemplary fashion. K.I.D. award recipients are:

  • Melinda Danner, Kosciusko County – A legal assistant whose job often entails the duties of a child support caseworker and who works with the child support deputy prosecutor.
  • Kathy Fisher, Tippecanoe County – An 11-year executive administrator who oversees 60 full-time and five part-time prosecutor’s office employees. She is the ultimate go-to person who always has the right response to any challenging issue.
  • Linda Kiefer, Scott County – A child support caseworker who selflessly assists others in the office, whether the case is one or hers or that of another caseworker.
  • Rhonda Stallworth, Allen County – A child support team leader with a positive attitude and a smile, no matter the challenge.
  • Leisha Terrell, Crawford County – A child support caseworker/supervisor who has imported Crawford County’s child support numbers in every category; she works diligently to find ways to collect child support from people who have a history of not paying.
  • Kathie Warner, Bartholomew County – A superior caseworker who exemplifies a standard of competence that is unimpeachable.
  • Derrah Yancy, Lake County – An exceptional caseworker who has worked for the Lake County Prosecutor’s office for 12 years – helpful and stern, all at the same time.
  • Delores Young, Decatur County – An Indiana Support Enforcement Tracking System (ISETS) Administrator who has worked for the Decatur County Child Support Office for 10 years and demonstrates an amazing ability to calm angry child support payors.

An additional 77 child support workers from 18 counties, as well as the Indiana Child Support Bureau, were recognized for years of service to their offices.

0

Indiana University swimmer Lilly King won her second national title in as many nights at the 2017 Phillips 66 US Swimming Nationals at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis on Thursday.

King, who won the crown in the 200 breaststroke on Wednesday, touched the wall first in the 50 breaststroke on Thursday night with a tremendous time of 29.66.

The Evansville, Ind. native’s mark set the American, US Open and meet record and also gave the rising junior the fastest time in the world this year. Earlier in prelims, King set the meet record with her time of 29.96.

By winning the national title in the 50 breast, King will now swim the event for Team USA at the 2017 FINA World Championships next month in Budapest, Hungary. King will also swim the 200 breast for the Americans, as well

King has two more events scheduled this week – the 100 breaststroke on Friday and the 200 IM on Saturday.

The Hoosiers were well represented in the Championship Final of the men’s 50 breaststroke, IU alum Cody Miller placed third overall with a time of 27.24. Joining him in the final was current Hoosier swimmer Ian Finnerty, who took eighth overall with a time of 27.83.

In the B Final of the men’s 50 backstroke, Indiana alum Bob Glover had a great swim, touching the wall first to place ninth overall with a great time of 25.20. Earlier in prelims, Glover tied for 8th overall, but fell in a swim-off by just 0.01 seconds to earn the top seed in the B Final.

Earlier in the morning, the Hoosiers had some stellar swims in the prelims session. In the men’s 100 butterfly, Blake Pieroni, who qualified for Team USA in the 200 freestyle on Wednesday, placed 26th with a personal-best time of 54.01 – the second-best time in school history. IU alum Max Irwin took 71st with a time of 55.89.

On the women’s side, Shelby Koontz placed 32nd overall with a mark of 1:00.57, while Christine Jensen was 40th in 1:00.86. In the women’s 400 IM, Sam Lisy was 49th in a time of 4:56.84, while Reagan Cook touched the wall 62nd with a mark of 5:00.28.

In the 18-and-under C Final of the 100 fly, Koontz placed eighth with a time of 1:00.84.

In the women’s 50 backstroke, Ali Rockett took 27th overall with a great time of 29.20, while Grace Haskett tied for 45th with a mark of 29.64. Rachel Matsumura was 55th in 29.80. On the men’s side, Wilson Beckman was 24th with a time of 26.28. Also in the women’s 50 breaststroke, Bailey Kovac tied for 52nd with a mark of 33.36.

Competition at the 2017 Phillips 66 US Swimming Nationals continues on Friday with the 400 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and 100 backstroke at the IU Natatorium. Prelims begin at 9:00 a.m. ET, with finals at 6:00 p.m. ET.

Dr. Bucshon Brings Terre Haute Startup to IoT Showcase in Washington, D.C.

0

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. recently welcomed BoxUp, a startup company based out of Terre Haute, to Washington, D.C. to showcase their innovative work in the latest technology wave known as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Bucshon invited the company to participate in an IoT Showcase, hosted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where startups from around the country displayed how this cutting-edge technology is changing the way they do business.

“The internet of things has opened limitless possibilities for entrepreneurs to turn an idea into a successful business. It’s truly revolutionizing our nation’s economy,” said Bucshon. “I’m happy to bring BoxUp from Terre Haute to Washington, D.C. to showcase the great things being done in the Hoosiers state.”

“We were thrilled to be a part of this IoT Showcase. It’s no secret that technology is transforming American manufacturing,” said BoxUp CEO Curt Stephens. “BoxUp is pleased that the House Committee on Energy and Commerce is looking carefully at the impact IoT has on manufacturing in our country.

The Internet of Things, a hot topic in the world of technology, refers to the interconnectivity of devices – smart phones, vehicles, even kitchen appliances – made possible by access to high-speed broadband internet expanding and improving across the country.

“The technology is advancing very quickly,” Bucshon said of the IoT. “The technology is improving almost daily and it’s just going to be a better consumer experience: more efficient, more effective, and a better way to do business.”

BoxUp uses this technology to defy the traditional packaging industry model, combining user-friendly graphic design tools and direct-to-digital printing to provide customers with high-quality custom printed boxes at an affordable price.

“The IoT affects all American citizens, we especially applaud Congressman Bucshon’s work to improve broadband access for the 2 million Indiana citizens that have limited or no access to broadband providers,” said Stephens. “For a startup from the 8th District of Indiana, it’s not always thought of as a hotbed of high-tech industry. We’re just glad to have the opportunity to show everybody that the Midwest has some exciting things going on as well.”

Today the stay-at-home economy and the emergence of the solopreneur are fueling BoxUp’s growth. Industry veterans Curt Stephens and Ward Hubbard founded the company in 2015 and are headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana. For more information visit www.boxup.com.
