As a mother, as a grandmother, and now it pains me to think that there are children in this country not enjoying the care, protection, and the love of their own parents.

Now more than ever, is very important that any border legislation that is considered has input from both sides of the aisle.

I urge this committee to seriously consider my bipartisan legislation H.R. 3508 for mark-up.

I introduced H.R. 3508, the Comprehensive Southern Border Strategy Act. This is a bipartisan bill to create a southern border strategy to secure every mile of our border.

The border crisis has led to many unaccompanied migrant children being released to live with strangers who could exploit them.

Our Southern Border continues to be an urgent national security, humanitarian, and public health crisis.

Under current law, American seniors who defer enrollment in Medicare may find themselves hit with higher fees due to late enrollment charges. Permanently raising seniors' healthcare premiums for delaying Medicare enrollment only hurts…

H.R. 4235 aims to improve public-private partnerships in developing and deploying the next generation wildfire technology.

I want to thank our Congresswoman, Young Kim, for her leadership on this issue.

It's really important that we provide the protection for women workers there too--the NGO workers.

This bill is a win-win for private entities looking to test their technologies at scale, and Federal land management agencies working to deploy emerging technologies to help first responders address wildfires and keep communities safe.

I am proud to see H.R. 4235, the Wildfire Technology Demonstration, Evaluation, Modernization, and Optimization Act, being considered in today's hearing.

I strongly support my friend Representative Kamlager-Dove's Young African Leaders Initiative, or YALI Act, which codifies the YALI program at the State Department.

There is a bill that I introduced, H.R. 316, Improving Federal Investigations of Organized Retail Crime Act.

National Forests with the most urgent trail and infrastructure maintenance needs must have adequate funding for staffing and resources.
