Failure on the administration. Thank you.

This was supposed to be a full committee, but as you can see the Democrats are not here.

This massive crisis, this human tragedy is the result of decisions and the incompetence of this Secretary.

You cannot read about being a doctor, and then go do brain surgery.

I think two-State should be left dead. In my opinion it makes no sense to me that the United States of America work to make a State out of an entity that would have to immediately be labeled as a terrorist State, and a State that we would…

Since it is International Women's Day, let me start with my trip to Kabul in 2015 when I witnessed firsthand Afghanistan's steps in positive way then for social progress with the help of the United States and without the brutal control of…

That decision made by Joe Biden to leave Americans behind was an embarrassment to this Nation.

But, let's be clear, if we knew were leaving at the beginning of the Biden Administration, based on the Trump Administration, then where was the plan?

The blood of those men and women's hands are on the President, period.

Weakness invites aggression.

Our veterans deserve it, and our Gold Star mothers and families deserve the truth.

The decision to exfil from Kabul became necessary. That decision killed 13 American warriors and left hundreds of American citizens behind enemy lines.

I will debate that with anyone who cares to take me on.

Nothing demonstrates that more, sir, than your powerful testimony about having the suicide bomber in your grasp.

If you don't have the right intelligence, you can't make a good decision.

By investing in the Homeland Security Committee, you are making an investment in the security of the American people.

We have to cover the expense of that.

We could use drones. We could use some of these--the, I'm not sure, the thermometer--the thermal machines that actually read the thermal of the vehicle.

No parent should have to go through what Rebecca and these other parents went through.

The Mayorkas border crisis is enriching cartels and human traffickers.

Under President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas, every State is a border State.

The homeland, our homeland, faces an unprecedented crisis along our Southwest Border.

Honestly, we could just use more funding for resources, getting our guys out on the streets.

This crisis threatens the safety of all American families, no matter where they live in the United States.
