But the only way to fix it is to put more resources and expand the number of people who can address the problem.

Hopefully, the bill that's coming through, the minibus, I guess we're calling it, will help to address this in an immediate way.

I think I speak for all of us on the committee that we want to see the front-line personnel paid a fair and equitable wage, on parity with the rest of the Federal Government.

I take concern with their zeal in creating and investing and actually manufacturing, creating the infrastructure that they need in order to create ports, airports, et cetera, that will dominate trade around the globe.

The importance to restore heavy manufacturing back to the United States that's critical to our National security, is something that both sides fully are in agreement with.

This piece of legislation is a testament to our commitment to ensuring that the backbone of our maritime infrastructure is not compromised.

I have witnessed first-hand the destructive power of communist regimes, and I have no interest in allowing the CCP to conduct industrial and economic espionage in our ports through their cranes.

As a country, we must acknowledge and assess these risks, threats, and vulnerabilities and decide how to effectively respond.

Another concern that I have is, in the United States, 80 percent of the cranes that we operate in our port system are built by communist China.

I believe also one of the things that Mr. Mayorkas has shown to be derelict in his duty is the absolute failure of this administration to combat what I consider to be terrorist organizations, which are the Mexican drug cartels that control…

So if we determine that Mr. Mayorkas is derelict in his duty and has failed to uphold his oath to protect the homeland, in our opinion, OK, then is that an impeachable offense?

Do you believe that failure to uphold your oath to protect the homeland, is that an impeachable offense?

By not stemming the flow of illegal immigration they are enriching those multinational organizations to the tune of billions of dollars, which allows them to produce more fentanyl, which allows them to kill tens of thousands of American…

The United States is facing a host of pressing issues, from Communist China's increased aggression in the Indo-Pacific to attacks by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists against our dear friend, Israel. This NDAA ensures our military is ready and…

The outcome was that we reduced the workforce by ten percent and didn't skip a beat...

If you really want to balance the budget, we have to be frank with the American people...

We should be looking at a regulation reduction panel.

Most bureaucracies have more employees than they actually need.

I don't believe since I have been here that I have seen us really prioritize the money that we have.

Budgeting is not hard. It isn't.

But if it's something that was mandated by Congress, I think that maybe it takes--it should take Congressional action to push it back.

Come that day on 2025, we will have utter chaos at our airports because a great number of people will not have the identification that is required by TSA in order to board a plane.

The REAL ID efforts have come in behind schedule and over budget.

On May 7, 2025, we are going to encounter utter mayhem at our airports.

American identity management is fundamentally fractured.
