This change may be necessary and should be considered immediately.

Experience shows -- my own experience shows, that perceived changes in immigration enforcement policy do have a reaction.

the one thing we would not do is separate children from their parents when they got to the border.

We are a sovereign nation. We have to secure our borders, and so we just simply cannot have a situation where people are apprehended, released, they don't return to court and they know they're able to do that.

a sure sign of the weakness of a policy, lack of confidence in a policy is when you can't simply get your story straight to explain what you are doing and why.

In my experience, cultural problems stem from the leadership.

I think that it's important for the executive to reinforce continuity and consistency in the protocols.

What constitutes a cyberattack? What are the implications of that?

I agree that IP theft is a significant problem, and it encompasses national security as well.

I have been disappointed that not more entities in the private sector are willing to share information with the Department of Homeland Security because they are concerned that it will go public.

We don't have a definition of cyber warfare in the government.

So in the Cyber Security Act of 2015, Congress established limits on criminal and civil liability for those who share cyber threat indicators with the Department of Homeland Security.

As long as our intelligence chiefs tell us that certain nation-states are continuing to engage in bad behavior against us in cyberspace, then the answer is no, we are not doing enough, obviously.

I believe it will get worse before it gets better.

A fiduciary duty, if not a legal duty, to protect the information that they are the custodians of.

I was very impressed by footnote 5 in your testimony, where you talk about the definition of cyber warfare.

Be careful what you ask for.

Jim Comey is the cop and I am the fireman, and you call both of us when you have an attack.

I think that there is still a lot of--a lack of public awareness about who is in charge.

In recent months malicious cyber actors have been scanning a large number of State systems, which could be a preamble to attempted intrusions.

the Russian government, at the direction of Vladimir Putin himself, orchestrated cyber attacks on our Nation for the purpose of influencing the election that year, plain and simple.

If an adversary is trying to undermine confidence, what are the ways to do that?

As a Nation we must resolve to strengthen our cyber security generally and the cyber security around election infrastructure specifically.

Campaigns are not immune from nation-state surveillance, nation-state hacking.

it is an embarrassment that the Department of Homeland Security has the lowest, in terms of employee morale, the lowest in the Federal Government.
