It is an honor to appear before you today to testify in support of my bill, H.R. 1003 The VA Medicinal Cannabis Research Act of 2023.

We have forgotten the role that we played in the Americas throughout history.

If you want to win a race, you focus on your lane, don't be chasing the other person.

I would like to submit this for record, sir?

They would tell me, 'We're as ready as can be.'

Fifty percent drop, 50 percent drop in the encounters after 42 was lifted. Unexpected.

Let me repeat. Party in charge voted to lift Title 42. Let me say, I agree with them.

If we doubled the number of blue uniforms at those ports or entry, we would catch double the amount.

What we want to do is get down to the facts and make sure we know what is going on at the border.

Today we have confirmed it, a greater number of individuals moving throughout the world displaced.

I am confident there are a lot of people moving into the hemisphere, mostly headed this way.
