President Biden's failed policies have created a crisis at our borders.

Thank you for being here today to discuss your funding needs and critical mission of enforcing our Nation's immigration laws and investigating transnational criminal activity.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

When you make this decision to release people of the interior, what is the vetting process that you are putting these individuals through before you let them run amuck in our country?

Well, they may in the country of origin, but you don't bother to look at those, correct?

President Biden's failed immigration policies have created a crisis on our border.

CISA is charged with coordinating the defense of 16 critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, communications, and the defense industrial base.

Nation-state actors backed by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and others are targeting government and private-sector networks.

there is rusting wall sitting in the dirt in the El Paso sector that taxpayers have paid for that you refuse to put up.

What I worry about is a scenario where, in the next 3 to 6 years, China decides to reunify with Taiwan.

President Biden's open border policies have made every town a border town and put our constituents--my constituents--at risk.

Discouraging migration along marine routes by prompt interdiction is important both for U.S. border security and the safety of the potential migrants.

Has TSA performed an analysis on impacts to TSO's staffing requirements as more capable screening equipment is deployed to the airports?

the Chief of the Border Patrol recently told this subcommittee that walls work.

I think we would see attacks against pipelines, because the big lesson of Colonial Pipeline is, what a great way to create panic.

For 10 years now I have been on this committee, and money has been given year after year to automate the processes at the IRS.
