this problem that has been created by President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas, is going to destroy New York City

They were going to welcome everyone with open arms. And now, we realized that there was actually no plan in place to be that sanctuary.

the only thing that has been historic is the amount of narcotics coming over our Southern Border

Let's be very clear. When people cross this border, when people risk their lives, when people come into this country, they don't do it--they don't want to achieve the American Dream living in a vacant hangar in JFK.

But what I also say is that the mayor touted the fact that New York City was a sanctuary city, but had absolutely no plans in place to actually serve as that sanctuary.

I fought so strongly to make sure that those individuals weren't leaving the TRACON facility.

This issue will destroy New York City.

You never want to hear the mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world saying that we have an issue that we are facing that we can't control that is going to destroy our city.

Individuals that had zero experience in law enforcement were influencing you on the decisions that you had to make for the best interest of this Capitol?

any time politics gets involved in law enforcement, it could be or lead to something very discuss.

I think part of the problem is--and as someone--and I appreciate all of your time that you spent in emergency management.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to participate in voting. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 388, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 389, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 390, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 391…

It is my firm belief that those serving in law enforcement and in emergency management represent the very best of America.

I am humbled to be able to conduct this hearing on such sacred ground.

The nonprofit security grant program provides funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements.

I think I know the answers to these questions, but I am going to ask them for the record.

They are not low. There are still thousands upon thousands of people coming to this country illegally.

I am a little confused by my colleague's comments when he said that Members on this side of the aisle were ``deathly afraid.'' No one is deathly afraid. What we are, though, is we are in support of my good friend from New York, Mr…

Why? Because he makes policies and carries out policies that have put people in danger.

It is because of exactly failed leadership like this.

These agencies are overrun. The Texas Department of Public Safety has spent $9 billion.

There is no doubt there is a crime crisis in America thanks in part to the dereliction of duty of Secretary Mayorkas' wide open Southwest Border.

To say that the men and women of DPS are throwing babies into the river is absolute absurd.

Let us be a partner with you, please. I mean that with complete sincerity.

Yes. I just want to share a few facts on elections in D.C., who--they have clearly been a disaster.
