I truly believe that cybersecurity is the preeminent threat to our National and homeland security, and if we don't act swiftly and decisively, we will come to regret it.

I can tell you without hesitation that it is indeed a crisis that continues to deepen each and every day.

I think it was a blunder to rescind these agreements which have created this exact problem and have put these children in jeopardy and you are seeing the separation again.

Through irresponsible rhetoric and actions by this administration, we are seeing an unprecedented crisis unfold during a pandemic.

There is just no question about that based on my conversations with the Customs and Border Patrol agents and other experts along the border.

In 2014, when I was Chairman of this committee and you were deputy secretary of DHS, Obama called the surge of migrants at the Southern Border a humanitarian crisis, and he was right.

While the President's overdue message yesterday to migrants to not make the journey to our Southern Border is certainly better late than never--words alone cannot undo the impact of these policies.

Haiti is facing a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis with its current President Jovenel Moise ruling by decree for over a year.

The Haitian people need and deserve better. As a neighbor, friend, and partner, we should do what we can.

No matter how difficult the situation, the United States remains committed to supporting the Haitian people.

It is an honor to serve as the Ranking Member on Western Hemisphere, and, obviously, this focus on Haiti is a critical aspect of our subcommittee.

My first thought is that some of these arrests may very well be politically motivated.
