They are failing our local communities by shutting down the Lukeville Port of Entry.

This administration, and Secretary Mayorkas, in particular, is failing us.

About every 5 minutes, an American dies from a drug overdose or poisoning.

One bipartisan policy change I am here to advocate for is my bill, H.R. 5590, the Border Enforcement, Security, and Trade, or BEST, Facilitation Act of 2023.

This is a Federal problem and deserves a Federal solution.

We have seen well over 100,000 migrants in less than 60 days.

I urged the Biden administration to deploy the Arizona National Guard.

Under this administration, every State is now a border State.

Without your support and the joint effort of the committee, China inches closer to our shores by the day.

The current $1 million annually that our local DHS office receives is nowhere near adequate to counter the State-level threats that our local government faces daily.

Illegal migration is not unique to our Northern and Southern Borders.

If harnessed correctly, Guam could be America's greatest asset in deterring Chinese aggression before it reaches the shores of our country.

This administration and Secretary Mayorkas, in particular, they are failing us.

I come before the Committee today to testify in support of my bipartisan bill H.R. 6497, the Healthy Watersheds, Healthy Communities Act of 2023.

We must meet our men and women who serve our country where they are, and it is in Congress' responsibility to ensure that the VA has the authorities they need to do so.

I support everything that you are doing.

I have said repeatedly that border security is a Federal problem that we need to fix, and it should not be put on the burden of our local communities.

The bottom line is that we need to change the calculus for those who endanger all of us when failing to yield to law enforcement.

If you are engaging in a high-speed chase and evading CBP or local law enforcement, you are clearly not a good actor.

The MHA rate has been a massive influence on my decision and ability to use my earned benefits.

In order to make wise decisions, these folks need to know how much water is being depleted and recharged in the aquifers.

Many of my constituents that I represent rely on pumped groundwater from transboundary aquifers for their drinking water, farming, and other everyday needs.

The TAAP Act facilitates groundwater studies between the U.S. Geological Service, University of Arizona, the University of New Mexico, Texas A&M, and several agencies in Mexico.

For Arizonans, water security is always top of mind.

I co-led a bill with Representative Connolly titled the Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act.
