Mark Green: “We do need some extreme solutions. We need to coordinate with Mexico. We need to get it right.”

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress. Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up.

Our supply chain for food would be disrupted. Think of empty shelves on grocery stores, think of manufacturing grinding to a halt.

Though I planned to retire at the end of the previous Congress, I stayed to ensure that President Trump's border security measures and priorities make it through Congress.

I commend Rep. Knott for leading legislation that will ensure DHS has the right intelligence and preparation to keep accomplishing this mission and protect our communities.
