We must do all we can to help Mexico strengthen its borders and turn away those traveling illegally from Central American countries.

It is our responsibility to hold you to account for managing the funds this committee provides to address these challenges.

I will now turn to my good friend, the ranking member, Mrs. Lowey, for her opening remarks.

It is difficult for me to justify a new $500 million program at the United Nations to fight global climate change...

We want to hear how you plan to respond to the Palestinians' move to join the ICC.
