I mean it is in those disagreements that we have some meeting of the minds.

It's good to see that the Biden administration not only talks the talk on equity in disaster response but is also walking the walk when it matters most.

I do hope you have come here today, ready to be honest with the American people, because if you are bold enough to make these policy decisions, you should be brave enough to own up to them and their consequences.

The objective of this budget is not to secure the border, but to force CBP personnel to process illegal aliens quicker into the interior of the United States.

We absolutely need to take care of them.

Whatever our challenge along the Southern Border, it didn't start 2 years ago, it has been here.

I know we are better as a committee than what we saw today.

Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.

I wish we could have talked about some other issues that are equally as important as the border.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those who were killed or injured in those tragic attacks and their families.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank Secretary Mayorkas for his responsiveness to Congress not just today, but since taking the job over 2 years ago.

We don't have a resource crisis, we have a policy crisis.
