Ranking Member Vela and others recently introduced H.R. 4940, the Border and Port Security Act.

I support Secretary Nielsen's call to close these loopholes.

As I said, we will fly the A-10 to 2030.

I remain strongly opposed to the Army's decision to close down Apache battalions in the National Guard.

Sometimes it blows my mind how things get taken out of proportion and turned into something political.

Border security is a critical pillar of that solution and it is a key part of the compromise proposal offered by President Trump.

I mean you look at the Secure Fence Act, which was voted on by then-Senator Obama, then-Senator Clinton, then-Senator Schumer.

One of the things that President Trump said in California that I appreciated was that--he said that we need to be able to see through those fencing to see the threats that are coming up.

So we include all that for $38 billion?

Is that going to be over the next 10 years enough for us to address this issue?

It is great to see that the number of days have gone down, but nobody can wait 10 months still to get a job.
