Martha McSally

I recently introduced legislation to eliminate the lottery, convert a portion of them to merit-based, which I believe is the right thing to do.

We need to update it. So that it is focused on the Northern Border.

Last year Congressman John Katko led Congressional efforts to pass the Northern Border Threat Analysis Act.

To address these challenges, DHS needs to develop a coherent Northern Border strategy and implementation plan to protect our northern frontier.

When Congress talks about border security, it is usually in reference to the Southwest Border where my community is.

I have similar legislation on the Southern Border Threat Assessment Act.

I couldn't believe it, in 2017, why we don't have the ability for someone to share something quickly.

I recently was visiting Tombstone, Arizona. Everybody should know where Tombstone is.

So you are saying the things that were brought up--are you familiar with the report I am mentioning?

What kind of funding is available? Or just what is the way ahead for these communities that right now can't talk to the agencies around them while they are in the middle of trying to deal with the border security issue?

My bill, the Veterans' Entry to Apprenticeship Act (H.R. 3018), will ease this process for our outgoing servicemembers...

I appreciate the VA's attention to this issue, and understand that they support the intent of the bill...

It simply does not make sense.

Now is a perfect time to encourage our war fighters to pursue careers in these high-demand occupations.

I am deeply concerned about the impacts.

I can tell you though that the testing that we have done and the purity of the Chinese Fentanyl coming through the mail and through the express is very close to 100 percent.

I mean, is there any sort of requirement or something in the works for Blue Force Tracking?

We have talked several times since I have been the subcommittee chair about pushing forward to also have that capability on manned aircraft.

We feel that we are potentially going to shift away from that should we lose some more air.

Air has been critical in the Tucson sector, but we have lost a bit of our air capability in that sector.

But the agent is still predominantly getting information by voice is the point, right?

Chairwoman McSally, Ranking Member Vela, and Members of the subcommittee: I am pleased to be here today to discuss the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to acquire and deploy land-based surveillance technology and the extent…

A secure border is the outcome the American people demand--regardless of what steps we take to get there.

Putting more technology on the border will increase our chances of apprehending dangerous individuals and interdicting lethal drugs like heroin and Fentanyl that cause so much death and pain for our fellow American citizens.
