Rep. Andrew Romanoff: Protecting Public Safety
The losers in this year’s legislative session included sex offenders, who will no longer be able to run out the clock when they victimize children; identity thieves, who will now be liable for felony prosecution; and manufacturers of methamphetamine, who will face stiffer sanctions.

We turned human smuggling and human trafficking into felonies, toughened the enforcement of existing laws, cracked down on forgery, and prohibited the government from doing business with companies that hire undocumented workers. By a combined vote of 95-2, we sent Congress a blueprint for national border security and immigration reform.
