John McCain

What we see in the government is we see the government just acts way too slow.

We need to listen to our agents. We need to take what our agents...

Without your leadership, Mr. Judd, we would not have done it.

If we have corruption within those who we place our trust and confidence, then I think it is pretty obvious the results of that.

Senator McCain and Senator Flake made that happen.

I appreciate your comments about hiring vets. I was recently down at Mariposa Port of Entry, and I found that they are 200 short.

What are we going to do to get more people?

Sinaloa Cartel is the most vicious of all, particularly now that Chapo Guzman is back.

Do we have enough assets to do the job you want to do? Absolutely not.

A front to Arizona is not just as a drug corridor. These drugs stay in our State, poisoning our children, and doing great harm to our communities.

We must improve our drug interdiction strategy, but we must also do what is possible to reduce the demands for these drugs.

We have to work on the demand side, and it works. We are getting very good at it.

I hate to keep harping. I sound like hometown.

I would like to thank all of the witnesses.

I think it means a lot to the people of our State.

I thank the Governor for his leadership. I thank the witnesses today.

But clearly, we are losing the war with the transnational criminal organizations (TCO) that traffic illicit narcotics into our country.

We have made progress in securing our border. There is no doubt about that.

I would think that it would come to a higher level than our office in Mexico City, Mr. Edge.

The fact is that this guy was arrested and deported five times, and the sanctuary city--your order to detain was not honored by the sheriff of San Francisco.

We have to take some other steps to address some of the factors that bring so many people to our borders.

Does that concern you as well?

On average, over the past 3 years along the Southern Border in particular, just because of the volume, we see individuals that are represented from over 140 different countries.

General Kelly warned that the potential threat of terrorists crossing our Southern Border 'is extremely serious' and called the budget cuts under sequestration 'a catastrophe which could effectively put me out of business.'

Have you seen Chinese come across the border?
