Last week, Madam Secretary, I stood alongside tribal representatives of the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition as they renewed a long-standing campaign to permanently protect their Grand Canyon homelands.

No Federal agency should be cloaked in mystery, particularly when it comes to spending American's hard-earned dollars.

I know you are not promoting a policy of energy poverty for the people of this nation, and while the word transition might be uncomfortable for some, it is a reality, and as we transition into clean, renewable for the sake of the planet…

Hollowing out Federal agencies is a critical component of the MAGA Republican signature playbook.

I would like rapid follow-up to ensure that this community can continue to provide a safe transition and an orderly transition for those migrants.

The Interior Department you inherited had been purposely and systematically gutted, demoralized, and diminished.

In 2022, we saw a record number of encounters at our Southwest Border, over 2.5 million individuals.

I think instead of demonizing children, I think we should demonize the cartels.

If we fix that first before we secure the border, we are just doing more of what you have done.

Well, let me give you some examples. The answer is $194 million over 20 years.

I am asking that the Biden administration have no more kids in graveyards.

You apparently believe this to be a game, Mr. Mayorkas.

Secretary Mayorkas, your reckless border policies are enriching drug cartels, and these cartels are laughing in our face.

Arizona communities cannot wait for this to play out on its own through the legislative process.

I would just note that based on this communication it seems evident to me that Congress will have to take action and pass this legislation.

The proposed $4.7 billion Southwest Border Contingency Fund is just another gimmick to spend American taxpayer dollars on a crisis you created.

I think that the permitting issue is a ruse to try to weaken other kinds of laws, whether it be NEPA, Endangered Species, bedrock environmental laws.

Last Congress, Democrats provided significant investments for drought mitigation and climate resilience, including $8.3 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and $4 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act.
