The bottom line is that the economic impact of seaports cannot be understated.

To ensure a safe, legal, and orderly immigration system, your agency requires the ability to detect, identify, classify, and intercept equipment, vehicles, and people used in or suspected of unlawful border crossing.

One of our biggest threats, security threats, when you are in law enforcement or in jobs to protect our country, national security, it is so important that we work together and I think a lot of this partisan politics is totally out of…

Good cybersecurity is based on finding and protecting vulnerabilities.

I appreciate that, but I have heard from residents throughout the Baltimore area, and my constituents have said they haven't seen any of the reforms called for in the consent decree.

First thing, I think the Inspector General position is very important to the checks-and-balances of our country, just like we are doing that as members of Congress and holding people accountable.

The USPS was never intended to be a business. It is a service and it is unacceptable that my constituents are not receiving vital medications, bills and other important letters in a timely and consistent manner.

The Postal Service should not, 'Become a bank or openly compete with banks.'

We must better position the Department to tackle this problem. It is both a moral issue of protecting the planet for future generations and a very real national security threat that our panelists today have so eloquently highlighted.

The recent SolarWinds attack demonstrated the sophistication of our adversaries' cyber capabilities, and more importantly, our inadequate defense against them.

This was a really serious attack, and we really were unprepared. We need to do a lot better in our defense of our cybersecurity.

First thing, I echo your comments about moving the $1.3 billion from the National Guard to the border wall. Makes no sense.

A lot of countries take in immigrants. If you look at our history, we all somehow, other than probably the American Indians, came from some other country.

I think the cartels really are the coordinated criminals, it is a serious problem, they have a lot of control and a lot of money, and they have the ability to get people in and drugs, as we know that.

The cartels are in control of a lot of the things that are going on, not only from a drug point of view, but also from shaking down these immigrants.

I wish our president would stop using this issue of the wall and the perception of everybody coming in are criminals or causing problems.

We need to abide by international law and allow people to seek asylum.

We have to provide more aid to the Northern Triangle countries.

We need to bring in more doctors to screen detainees--very important issue, especially with the young children and kids.

We need to fix the overcrowding. We need to hire hundreds more judges.

We just passed a bill which provides $4.5 billion to alleviate the humanitarian crisis on the border.
