This network of 69 fusion centers do a really good job of working with the local, state, and federal agencies.

We are abandoning our allies and we are sending a message for the future that we are not reliable.

Unfortunately, just when American leadership and cooperation in the Arctic is needed on the international stage, we have chosen to eliminate the State Department's position of the Special Representative for the Arctic.

I look forward to hearing from the State Department how it is ensuring appropriate leadership on Arctic issues despite the loss of that position.

I would say that we as a Nation do not appreciate the importance of this region to our country.

Twenty, 30 years' worth of food will be a strategic weapon in the world.

We need to take care that you do have the resources and the assets to do your job.

Chairman Correa, Ranking Member Lesko, Members of the subcommittee, this completes my prepared statement.

In my opinion, we need to invest more in our capabilities in the Arctic, not less, in order to ensure that the Coast Guard, the State Department, and its Government partners can secure the homeland at our northernmost border.

We must ensure development is sustainable with minimal environmental impacts and that it supports local communities, including the indigenous people.

If I was going to focus on one thing and a general subject, it is operational and maintenance funding.

border security goes beyond our border.

this is going to continue to be a challenge, migration, refugees from around the world.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, as a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I know firsthand the dangers that foreign interference in our elections present to our democracy. As a Member of Congress, it is my sworn duty…

I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding. Madam Speaker, I want to correct the record about Dreamers, who they are in the United States. I represent central Orange County, home to the largest number of Dreamers in the United…

An American life is an American life, whether it is in America or outside the U.S.

domestic terrorism on my list is No. 1 now.

I commend the administrator for answering the call to duty, but the role of TSA administrator is a full-time job.

We need to move ahead and revert back to that program that was just canceled to make sure that these soldiers that are serving with honor have the right to become a citizen.

These policy changes negatively affect military recruitment and effectiveness, and turn our back on immigrant servicemembers, veterans, and their families.

This bill will fix the problem that resulted from a policy change announced in August that takes effect today, which makes it more difficult for children of U.S. citizens serving our country abroad to be recognized as U.S. citizens.

I'm out of time, but I just want to say, in Orange County, we were the first--one of the first pioneers on creating veterans courts.

Can you be more specific, when you say 'chaos'?
