When you pay it, guess what? More people are deciding they want to get into the business and try and extract you from your money, and that's the problem we're running into.

If the Majority requested and shared human tissue samples of a deceased child just to advance political narrative, it would mark an appalling new low for this committee.

Public opinion is probably more with us now than it's ever been to try to defeat this thing.

I think it would put us in a better position. I would hate to say 'finally.'

I want to keep an open mind on the merits of any proposal to improve our national cybersecurity.

Every major adversary--China, Russia, North Korea, Iran--are ramping up the use of cyber because they know it has low consequence and high impact.

I am also alarmed by the autopsy information the Majority requested. I don't see any legitimate reason why this committee, or any committee of Congress, would need human tissue samples from a deceased 8-year-old boy.

I appreciate today's witnesses and the time and attention they have each dedicated to protecting our Nation's information and critical infrastructures.

I can tell you in my work in some of the private work that I do, including being vice chairman of Mitre Corporation, we haven't seen any, you know, flip one vote to another vote. Have not seen that.

I am, too, saddened by the loss of Felipe and Jakelin. Both children and a teenager died while in the custody of CBP, or shortly after entering custody, which is totally unacceptable.

So, Chairman Rogers, can you describe the potential effect a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure like this could have in the United States?

Security is, I think, a very important discussion Congress is going to have to weigh in on.

If we don't have something that doesn't expand Government but focuses our cybersecurity efforts, we are going to be in for a long run.

But ultimately we need tax policy and regulatory policy that really encourages and augments and doesn't create barriers to accessing that capital.

We need a strong leader in the White House to defeat the inertia that pushes investments in cybersecurity down the road.

I question how the Majority can continue to neglect its duty to fund ICE last year and again this year.

Willfully underfunding ICE to make a political point to the base of the Democratic party will have profound impacts on migrants drawn here by our broken immigration system.

During this Congress the Majority has made it a habit of declining to invite or refusing to accommodate critical Government fact witnesses.
