It is inconceivable that millions of migrants who have crossed our borders seeking asylum qualify as truly eligible for asylum status.

The one thing that is clear from my constituents is that they want our borders secured.

It's crystal clear that the policies set forth by cities like New York City are plaguing other communities that surround them.

In Nassau County, we have made a determination that we do not want to take part in the misguided migrant program.

The Biden administration's inability to secure the Southwest Border and discourage illegal immigration has encouraged millions of migrants to take advantage of city resources.

President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas' open border policies are having a direct impact on our first responders' ability to help their communities.

I am not sure how a predetermined outcome happens from a committee reviewing 170,000 pages of documents, numerous subpoenas, and weeks and months of investigation. I am not sure how a predetermined outcome is generated from that. Mr…

I wish we didn't have to have a hearing like this, but I want to thank our leadership.

H.R. 3229, The Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act, is a necessary bill to protect our elections from foreign influence.

American elections are for American citizens. Period. Full stop.

It is our duty to serve them well and to ensure that they are prepared for whatever could come their way.

I look forward to hearing about how we can simplify and improve vulnerable communities' access to State-wide resources.

I will never forget the sense of dire need that followed. An estimated 100,000 homes were damaged or destroyed on Long Island alone.

Your work matters. Thank you for serving, and for being on the front lines in peoples' greatest time of need.

The crisis at the Southwest Border not only impacts border States such as Texas and Arizona, but now every State is truly a border State.

I agree with my colleagues. You should be impeached. That is why we are doing the work that this committee is doing, because you have failed your oath.

Every State is a border State. Every city is a border city. Especially when it comes to bearing the cost of you and President Biden's failed policies at the border.

There has never ever been such a disaster at our Southern Border as it is now. That is because of your failed leadership.

I think one of the biggest issues is not enforcing the law because law enforcement officials are told by the administration right now not to enforce those laws.

Criminals target vulnerable people, and traffickers, as economically motivated criminals, are going to target the people that are easiest in their mind to coerce and control.

As I am sure we would all agree, human trafficking is an evil which should be eradicated.

I first want to begin by thanking Chairman Higgins and Ranking Member Correa for so kindly allowing today's hearing to be a joint hearing with the Emergency Management and Technology Subcommittee.

We need to secure our borders because our secure borders means a secure nation.

Stop with your open borders. You are going to crush our city.

I am proud to co-sponsor a bill introduced by my fellow New Yorker, Representative Nicole Malliotakis, H.R. 5283.
