Given the number of people slipping past CBP, are you concerned that terrorists could be exploiting this chaotic situation to slip through the cracks?

That is a substantial increase from prior years. Is that correct as well?

The CBP data that I have said reports 98 suspected terrorists apprehended just last Fiscal Year on the southern border.

I think at times we get a little bit lost in our partisan politics. And your job and what you do is increasingly important.

Thank you for doing what you do to try and protect this Nation at the border.

I want to really focus on the waste, the fraud and abuse and really to represent the American people.

If there is a consequence to your action.

I really want to focus on the waste, the fraud and abuse and really to represent the American people.

Clearly there is no crisis at border. We do not have a public health crisis there, why do we have a public health crisis?

With all of the spending, all of the programs, all of the incentives to keep people out of the workforce and on the couch, it is $3,100.

What do you feel about the question is when will this administration stop this madness, and end the public health emergency, and reinstate work requirements to get the people back to work?

I would strongly disagree. I have heard some members in this committee say you know we should celebrate.

Do we have any actual physical data on to incarcerate a child is $50,000.00 a year, versus to rehabilitate the child through one of your programs costs 13?

I am just curious in your State of Wisconsin, the city of Milwaukee is rampant with violent carjackings.

From my State in 2021, Michigan's recidivism rate was reported at 26.7 percent.

I think with a little bit of kindness and a lot of hope sir, I think we can provide a different vision for our youth.

I believe in the people. I believe in the Army. I believe in the United States of America.

It seems like you're putting a lot of stock into modernization rather than readiness, while there's a hot war going on in Ukraine.

The budget seems to greatly abandon any focus on readiness.

So, in comparison to our competition, what do we need?

So, you are not requesting legislative relief from the statutory requirement. I read that wrong.

There seems to be some disparity.

I think that is what we are all concerned about is capability, looking at the future, making sure that we are the leaders, that we are protected, that we are safe.

I think a lot of times there is a misnomer on the easiest way to not discriminate is to take a look at what the output is right?

To me, let us when we are making raises, when we are going to go and promote raises, do you believe that the employer should look at the outcomes, and base it on merit?
