Xochitl Torres Small: “I express my deep concern regarding the Department of Defense's failure to proactively address PFAS contaminants.”

This shouldn't be a blame game. This should be looking forward and to the future about how we can solve this together.

Every dollar counts. So you just told me about how we need to invest in next-generation weapons, especially hypersonic missile testing, and that every dollar counts.

I think the reason why it is so important that we have 100 percent deployment is that, when we get to 73 percent, cartels wise up, they shift their routes to less--under-staffed or under-utilized ports of entry, where the infrastructure is…

But we must also recognize that painting DHS employees as bad people, uncaring, or saying that the Department should be dissolved altogether, is counter to this goal.
