If we can agree that relieving you of some of these regulatory burdens leads to more innovation, would you also agree that more innovation allows us to greater outpace China?

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

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

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

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

That is a complete, absolute misstatement of fact.

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

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

I hope you would agree that my constituents deserve nothing less.

I look forward to continuing to work with this committee to get this important program reauthorized.

This is a crisis of policy choice, that President Biden choosing to repeal the Remain in Mexico policy invites migrants.

The Democrat solution seems to be build a bigger boat.

Border security used to not always be a partisan thing.

We need to secure our borders to make sure that we know who's in this country.

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

I applaud that you've been very clear throughout all this, and Nassau County is not a sanctuary county.

We from New York, we get it. You know, there's folks from across the Nation who are on this panel today.

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.

Are you pleased with your performance with respect to----

The fact that criminal networks have been able to import and distribute an unconscionable amount of fentanyl under your watch, Mr. Secretary, is beyond negligent.
