"And, Madam Chair, I would suggest that we heed his request on this $14 million, because it will actually bring dollars back that have been stolen in fraud."
"All of these, to me, should be considered public health issues all over the country because every city in America is now a border country."
"I have a lot of Ukrainians in my district and I want to make sure that we are doing all we can for them."
"But those same USCIS employees are being surged to the Southern Border to now process those people."
"This is a self-inflicted national health disaster, and we have to look at Title 42."
"I was not suggesting that everyone that wants to immigrate to this country or come across the southern border is a murderer or a drug dealer or a terrorist or a threat to this country."
"So when Title 42 is lifted because they are okay with COVID-19 now, there is no concern about the number of murders that are being committed by these individuals."
"So what we are trying to do is align ourselves with that so we can be better prepared to handle the mission."
"But, clearly, that is not going to be possible with all of the refugee issues and all the humanitarian issues that are being forced upon us particularly if Title 42 is done away with."
"But, Mr. Secretary, if I can push back on that just a little bit."
"I would like to ask a question, and whoever could answer."
