cybersecurity is not a goal that has a finish line because as soon as you solve one problem there is a dozen more right on the backside of it.

I hear about it every day that I'm out and about in my district.

Please urge the Department of Homeland Security to move immediately to do what Congress has given them the power to do and allocate those additional 63,000 H-2B visas for this year.

Congress, as I mentioned, bear some responsibility because we allowed that returning guest worker exemption to expire back in 2016.

We have been working for a long time on the LNG issue and the ability to put America into the LNG markets globally.

A smaller LNG terminal would be great for them. It would be part of the all-the-above energy strategy.
