Do I take it from your answer then that your position is that we do not have a crisis at the Southern Border, that the surge is large illusory, and we have no reason to be concerned?

Why can't ICE officers not get answers from you. Why is it they have to come to me to get answers from you, because they do not know what to do.

If confirmed, I will not only ensure our cooperation continues, but will look for ways to strengthen that partnership.

I also want to thank Senator Shaheen for her kind words and leadership in the NATO Observers Group.

I believe that part of NATO's success rests with the strong bipartisan support one finds both here in Congress and among the American public.

If confirmed, I will urge those Allies that are not on track to meet the Wales Pledge by 2024 to continue making progress toward that shared and important goal.

I want to extend my thanks to President Biden and Secretary Blinken for placing their trust in me for this critical position.

The Biden administration opposes Nord Stream 2 and believes that this Russian geopolitical project is a bad deal for both Ukraine and Europe.

I look forward to supporting the president's pledge to revitalize and strengthen America's alliances.

I believe in this alliance, I believe in the important role it plays in America's own defense, and I believe in our critical leadership role inside it.

The key to NATO's success is its ability to maintain unity, and the NATO 2030 agenda adopted at the June 2021 Summit affirmed the importance of consultation to the Alliance's success.

This record is an unmitigated disaster. It is a disaster.

It is absolutely not true that ICE officers have been told not to arrest people.

Why is this happening? Are you not concerned about these kinds of criminals being released onto the streets and hurting children again?

Are you saying that there has not been a dramatic surge in border crossings and unaccompanied children during your tenure, a historic surge? Is that your position?

Are your policies working at the border?

I have talked to families all across Florida. They are talking about the atrocities that are happening to peaceful protestors.

Communist Cuba is a threat to our national security and a horrible human rights violator.
