"Seventy-five pounds of marijuana, almost $8,000 of brown heroin, 5 illegal border crossers with unknown intentions, and 11 more illegals who got away."
"This is unacceptable, and I can guarantee that the drug cartels using the tunnel did not care about the welfare of that species."
"We need to ensure that our environmental laws do not compromise Border Patrol's ability to detect, identify, track, and respond to cross-border violations."

"Foresters apply the best science to keep trees and forests healthy."
"I had a markup in another committee so I wasn't here to hear your verbal testimony."
"What, other than Federal funding for discretionary grants, what types of policies would help implement the first mile and last mile improvements to our rail system?"

"We should apply tribal traditional knowledge and modern forestry to other Federal lands."
"It is a major problem facing our country, and I am glad that we are continuing to focus on that."
