I do not believe there was much of an effort to deliver comprehensive immigration reform in the first year, and I do not think it is Congress' fault.

I would just suggest that maybe we look at changing the system a bit so that people who are away from home never really believe they are away from home, that somebody is always watching.

Would you agree that probably the idea of homegrown terrorism and attack from within is greater today than it was, say, maybe 5 years ago, the radicalization?

I think some of these terrorist organizations are actually trying to come to our country and recruit within our own.

Yes. I like the 'yes' part of that answer. Thank you.

That is great news. Thank you, and it will avoid Senator Collins and I having to pass legislation, which is good.

I wish Senator Kyl a happy birthday. I guess it will be the last one as Senator, so your next birthday may be even happier than this one.

I think it has been successful in promoting site safety at those sites that deal with dangerous chemicals but really has significantly underperformed, particularly in cybersecurity.

I think I have the honor of the last questions of the oversight hearing today.

I think we just need to continue to emphasize the differences between that and some of the other approaches.

It needs to be not just this incident but a far-reaching investigation that can reassure the American public.

I share Senator Franken's deep concerns about privacy and how we strike an appropriate balance.

I think that retaining airlift capacity in local National Guards and State National Guards was critical in the State of Vermont.

My concern is that this Committee previously legislated on intellectual property theft through the PROTECT IP Act...

I hope you will make real progress in the enhanced biographic exit program, and there was some real dialog about that.

I do not hear the same level of broadly shared understanding of just how real, just how constant, and just how present a threat this is to our intellectual property, to our critical infrastructure, and to the vibrancy of our Nation.

Thank you for your strong leadership of the Department and for the Department's sustained and significant contribution to the security and liberty of the people of the United States.
