Jim Pendergraph, an executive director with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told NC WANTED that U.S. Congressman David Price is using his power to pass a spending bill that will weaken the country’s ability to enforce United States immigration laws, putting America at greater risk for terror attacks and crimes by foreign nationals.

In the June 25th article published in the N&O, the text read, “U.S. Rep. David Price, who, in his second year at the helm of the Homeland Security spending panel, is trying to increase his influence over the agency's [ICE] immigration policies. Price, a Chapel Hill Democrat, is shepherding through next year's spending package for the Department of Homeland Security. It passed a key House committee Tuesday and now goes to the House floor. The full House is expected to vote on the measure later this summer.”According to a recent article in Human Events, David Price's congressional subcommittee has already produced a fiscal year 2009 Homeland Security Appropriations bill that will prevent state and local law enforcement agencies from enrolling in the immigration enforcement program known as 287(g).

“Unfortunately, some of the congressmen have their own agenda about how much to give us [ICE], because they know the system well enough to know that if they don’t fund us, then we can’t do much,” he said.
