I am concerned that there are unidentified National security and public safety risks in a population that large.

The Public Record
Martha McSally is a Republican politician from Arizona who served as a U.S. Senator from 2019 to 2020. She was the first woman to fly in combat for the U.S. Air Force and has a notable military background. McSally was elected to the House of Representatives in 2014, representing Arizona's 2nd congressional district, where she focused on issues such as national security and veterans' affairs. During her time in the Senate, she continued to advocate for military and defense issues, as well as border security and immigration reform.
We have unlawful presence in our United States from the visa overstays, and that is what we are focusing on today.
Thank you for your leadership in protecting Tucson International Airport in southern Arizona.
I felt like I was listening to parallel universes that were in complete contradiction of each other.
It is unbelievable to me that it would take an act of Congress to actually direct them to provide flexibility.
We have instances of at least 250 through April that have been reported where TSA agents have been pulled away from their primary mission.
Look, we need to make sure that large-scale events have safety and security, but there are other ways to do that than to be pulling agents, that its core responsibility is the safety of air travel, in order to do that.
I really appreciate you being my wingman on this issue and many issues, letting me join this hearing today.
I also want to thank Representative McSally for her focus on this issue and for her work to draw attention to some of the specific challenges we face in Tucson.
