This isn't serious border oversight--that much is obvious to anyone who actually understands oversight or the border.

When States are having to spend millions of dollars to combat illegal immigration, what strain does this put on State and local budget to ensure safety?

As our national debt reaches $33 trillion, we can't afford to keep spending this much money when we know there is a solution.

Instead of working with Democrats to avert a Government shutdown, Republicans are squabbling amongst themselves and holding show hearings.

They want a wedge issue, not solutions. They want to distract from their own in-fighting and obvious inability to govern.

Republicans are threatening to cut funding for critical border security operations, which would create chaos at the border.

A lot of the crops we raise depend on immigrant labor, and that labor comes and produces significant positives for farmers and ranchers in the community.

I want to give you a thanks for--and the Department of Transportation--for its historic, significant investment in my home district in the State of Mississippi.

I believe this approach could bring financial resiliency to lower and moderate income households often facing extreme flooding events and even save the taxpayer some money.

Congress, similarly, has explored policies to improve the National Flood Insurance Program, which is unaffordable and unattainable in several areas in my district.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about how CISA can continue to improve the CDM program, including how it can gain visibility into operational technology, a priority for me.

We all remember learning about the SolarWinds intrusion in December 2020, which highlighted how vulnerable Federal agencies were to foreign espionage campaigns and how outdated our Federal network cyber defenses were.

I am pleased the Senate is beginning consideration of the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bills. Let me begin my remarks by thanking Chairman Murray and…

It is absolutely appalling.
