This is probably the most effective 75 minutes I have had in Washington in quite some time.

If Secretary Mayorkas stopped paroling mass groups of migrants into the United States these tragedies could have been avoided.

The longevity and health of the Long Island Sound is also critical for Long Island and Connecticut residents.

The Secretary is wrong and he is smart enough to know that he is wrong.

The Executive branch has every power in its toolbox to get this done right away.

That is a complete, absolute misstatement of fact.

Sixty-seven percent of Americans think the President is failing in his duty to secure the border.

Thank you, Chairman Bentz and Ranking Member Huffman, for hosting this important hearing today.

This is taking away resources that we desperately need to take care of our own citizens.

Border security used to not always be a partisan thing.

We Long Islanders don't want our Nation's leaders to put us down that bad path, and we don't want their policies to drag us back to that ugly place.

With 75,000 Americans dead in just 1 year, and cartels raking in billions of dollars and armed to the teeth with military like weaponry, and with enough fentanyl coming across our border to kill nearly every human on the planet, would you…
