One year into President Biden's term, we have witnessed a total disintegration in law and order at the Southern Border.

The crisis this administration has created could have been averted or stopped at any time and still can be.

This crisis at the Southwest Border could have been avoided if the current administration were to aggressively enforce the laws that were in place.

This should have been one of the busiest subcommittees in Congress and, yet, here we are with our first hearing to actually address the border security crisis.

I do know President Biden said that he was going to put an end to Nord Stream 2 if there was an invasion.

So I understand why the Biden-Harris administration is investing so much effort in Honduras. We are going to have to work with Xiomara Castro for the next 4 years.

Hate crimes are unacceptable in any form or fashion.

I think this underscores the need to have prosecutorial action to hold the law that we do have.

You talked about CBP's Office of Field Operations. That it is the premier DHS component tasked with stemming the Nation's opioid epidemic, a crisis that continues to get worse.

So is Russia looking at the long game, that not today but at some point in the near future that the Northern Sea Route will become a viable corridor for the Asia European markets?

We have an adversarial relationship with Russia but not an enemy.
