I have heard a member, a Republican member, talk about immigrants as an infestation and another one call it an invasion.

I appreciate the opportunity to testify in front of the committee and I am glad to see the Northern Border crisis finally getting the attention it deserves.

Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet with our Buffalo Border Patrol agents, and they discussed the many issues they are facing.

It is critical now more than ever for Members of Congress to come together with one voice to advocate against President Biden.

Under President Biden's failed leadership, our borders are less secure and our communities are at risk.

So you think we definitely--you support U.S. investment--continued investment, and you don't think it's sufficient?

Nuclear energy is going to be increasingly a critical player in this space.

I'm honored to represent New York's new 24th congressional District, which includes all the remaining active nuclear plants in the State of New York.

Thank you, Chairman Issa and the Ranking Member, for holding this important meeting on U.S.-China competitiveness.

The rise of the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party harmed Americans as it was--it stated--its State-sponsored espionage efforts have stolen American intellectual property.
