The Transportation Security Administration is essential to our Nation's security.

I believe that this committee, particularly this subcommittee should work in a bipartisan fashion to achieve the shared goal of advancing TSA.

AFGE has strongly supported the legislative efforts of Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-MS) to bring much-needed reforms to the SPP.

Congress should never have divided the TSA workforce into a group of management 'haves' with statutory rights under title 5 of the U.S. code, and the front-line TSO 'have nots' who do not.

I thank Mr. Veasey for helping organize this Special Order on a topic that is of great concern to me and many of my constituents. The Attorney General, as we know, serves as the United States' chief law enforcement official. He or she does…

This is the final amendment to the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to the committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. Just over a week ago, the Nation observed the 15th…

There is a Presidential nominee who has chosen to call 11 million people rapists and murders and proposes Cold War ideological tests on Muslim visitors to this country.

We have Members of Congress who suggest that we should profile entire communities.

I am opposed in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Thompson of Mississippi moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3438 to the Committee on the Judiciary with…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5- minute votes on passage of the bill, if…

I will say that having such a myopic approach to countering violent extremism is a disservice to the American people.

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) for allowing me the time. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question so we can bring up my bill, H.R. 5256, the Expanding DHS Overseas Passenger…

It is time for us to rethink how we prevent terrorism.

If you are too bad to get on a plane, then it is clear in the minds of a lot of people you ought to be too bad to own a gun.

In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York, I would like to offer my sympathies to the victims and their families.

I look forward to continuing a bipartisan effort with the Chairman to give DHS what the 9/11 commissioners recommended over 10 years ago--a single principal point of oversight and review for homeland security.

The goodness of this country is that we have marketed ourselves as a bastion of democracy and that if there are individuals who want to come and meet our test for coming, then they are welcome.

After visiting southern Arizona at the request of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others and meeting with constituents there, I have first-hand knowledge of residents' concerns.

I have seen the triple fence near San Diego, ridden along the border with ranchers in Arizona, and observed Border Patrol Agents processing unaccompanied children in South Texas.

Our goal has become shifting away from a need-to-know culture to a need-to-share environment.

Information sharing is critical to our Nation's security.

This cyber attack amounts to more than a public embarrassment or harmless mischief.

It doesn't stretch the imagination that Mr. Putin would now try his hand at manipulating the course of American democracy.

We are deeply troubled by reports of a Russia-supported hacking of Democratic National Committee data.

The DNC hack was plainly cyber crime.
