Despite this, over the past 3 years, the Coast Guard has failed to reach its 10 percent interdiction goal of known cocaine flow.

The Coast Guard is facing a 3,000-person shortage, which has degraded the mission readiness of the Coast Guard.

Just about every national security official has told us it hamstrings their work to keep America safe.

it is vital we do these together in one package and not break them apart, such as an Israel-only bill like the one that the House passed last week.

Making sure synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, do not cross our borders is really important.

Most of the complaints here are because these laws have not been updated in 40 years.

we can and should be addressing foes, like Putin, and supporting allies and populations facing war and famine all at the same time.

Let us talk about funding for mental health and substance use disorder treatments.

This could all be a lot easier if we would decide, together, to come together and fix part of this problem.

None of the people we represent who are on the frontlines of this crisis want us to play politics with their lives.

At such a crucial moment, we cannot afford to treat this as a zero-sum game.

I am going to continue to do everything I can, and working with everyone I can to make sure we meet this moment.

Making sure we can adequately support the resettlement of these refugee populations is not just the right thing to do, it also supports important national security and strategic interests.

We actually can work together, all of us, on common-sense bipartisan solutions to help us humanely manage encounters at the border.

It is important that the administration has requested this funding to continue to stabilize the child care system.

We have got to act on those requests as well as the President's funding requests to meet operational requirements and needs at the Southern border.

I think that you get a lot of criticism for implementing the law.

Thank you for standing with us and for your ongoing friendship.
