Our job is to get rid of that fear.

Somehow we have got to remind ourselves every single day that there is somebody out there that wants to do harm to Americans.

Congress has invested billions of dollars in CBP since September 11th, particularly in bolstering Border Patrol staffing to a record 21,370 agents.

This administration has consistently shortchanged--Air and Marine this year, the request supports only 62,000 flight hours, the lowest level yet.

This budget submission severely diminishes current, near-term, and future capabilities.

I have been preaching regular order to many people for a long time. It is the backbone of being in Congress.

DHS must find a way to accomplish its vital mission with increasingly scarce resources.

They want us to have an effective immigration system that begins with a secure border.

Basically, you just take the whole state of Texas and eliminate 100 miles from the border, because we have 1,200 miles of border.

So your standard is 100 miles from the border, okay? Most States 100 miles from the border is all the way across the State; 100 miles from El Paso is Midland.

I am going to get off on something kind of local. We see, once again, this administration is again proposing to close nine inland Border Patrol stations...

It is a shame that we have to witness this, it is a shame that we have to lose American citizens injured and killed.
