It is alarming, the degree of these cuts and how much damage they would do.

If that is the case, let me--my time is limited--if that is the case, if this is duplicative, if the work of the Coastal Resilience Center really is not needed, then you need to document that.

I think somebody should look at this. I mean, this is siloed.

Conflating refugees, or immigrants in general, with terrorists doesn't make us safer.

I fear ICE gave him a death sentence.

They check in faithfully with ICE, under an order of supervision, and they are picked up at that point.

This is someone who did show up.

There must be discretion.

I am relying on firsthand experience.

It is true, isn't it, that they reached historic lows in 2017, and are still well under the peaks experienced in previous decades.

Large numbers of them, I know, are seeking refuge from poverty and physical danger in their home countries.

It would seem that every American who is qualified and willing to risk their life to keep our country safe should be able to serve.

I wonder about the cuts.

If government fails, everything fails.

Isn't it true that a number of these people are seeking out CBP agents, not trying to evade them?

Shutting our borders violates our Nation's values, undermines our national security.

This is a shockingly low ceiling for our country, what we have done in the past, what we have stood for.

The best way to utilize limited law enforcement resources is to prioritize those who truly provide a threat to public safety and national security.

I did believe in the whistleblower program. I endorsed it.

HUD's mission is to provide affordable housing, to foster community development, and to protect both renters and homeowners from discrimination.

I think it would be very helpful if you would finalize those thoughts in a more formal way and give us a basis for future collaboration.

We are talking $50 billion in maintenance needs. And I just reiterate, this isn't an indication of program failure.

Access to stable and affordable housing has broad positive impacts. It leads to better health, better education outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, especially for children.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Opportunity zones? Okay. Does that somehow compensate for everything I have said here this morning?
