I have a real interest in that, too, so we would like to be included in that conversation in my office.

We thank you for being here. We went a little long, but the reality is you guys are kind of the darling of our world that we live in in this subcommittee and we are glad to be able to have a conversation with you.

I want to thank you and the President for focusing on restoring the rule of law, which is one thing that unites us as Americans.

Congressman Duncan Hunter, Sr., spearheaded the effort to build a wall in the southern California border, which has been working very successfully.

Where we have physical barrier, it works.

It is important to recognize there is an 88-day safety net to catch any mistakes, because we are all humans.

I have a lot of interest in immigration because I have a lot of responsibility in the area of Homeland Security.

I would hope that we would be able to reopen those questions.

I have long been an advocate of placing immigration judge teams close to the fight on the border.

We need to push deeper and deeper from the border, the first lines of defense should not just be the border.

I understand some of the compassion people have, but the reality was they used a loophole in the law to get into this country.

I believe the work of this committee is critical to the well-being of our service members and their families.
