I want to thank all the witnesses for joining us here today, particularly three of my constituents from Texas.

Mexican authorities have told us that a vast majority of weapons they seize from criminals in Mexico are actually smuggled from the United States.

Congress cannot pat itself on the back, in other words, and say, 'Way to go. We sent money for infrastructure.'

This is something we ought to be able to agree on.

Do you think the best solution to that is more Federal law enforcement officials at the ports of entry or better technology or data sharing?

These are people who know a lot about the border, and I am delighted they are here to share their expertise.

We are talking about robbers, rapists, murderers.

the importance of providing both the financial support to border sheriffs and other law enforcement officials to help make up the burden.

My constituents of Texas view NAFTA as a net plus for many, many reasons, and it is important that we preserve the proper balance.

Thank you for your answer. Judge, I actually agree that your judicial record strikes me as pretty much in the main stream of judicial decision making by District Court judges and by Court of Appeals judges on the Federal bench.

But, Judge, she said that a wise man and a wise woman would reach the same conclusion.
