These drug cartels represent a threat to the viability of the Mexican state and national democracy.
I support this bill, because it stands up to the dictatorship of Hugo Chavez and stands with freedom and democracy in Venezuela.
I tend to disagree with that assessment, because as you mentioned, civilian control is important here.
I think a visit to the Joint Task Force North, which seems to be the plug-in between the DoD and the Southwest Border and DHS, would be very productive.
What are we going to do with the billions of dollars of assets, which includes technology?
the technologies that Representative McCaul and Ranking Member Cuellar and I went and saw at Laredo were part of one of those operations.
This is something that we certainly want to look at as to how we can do that.
The Qods should be designated as a foreign terrorist organization. I think that would be helpful.
If every 6 months we think they are about to get a bomb and they do not... that is a level of victory, but it is not a policy.
I hope today to gain new insights into these and other challenges in the hopes we can move forward, building a strategy for dealing with Iran that is both effective and responsible.

An emergency should be taken care of instead of having a Washington debate as to how we pay for this.
Now, this is something the Governor's office, you know, I think on nine separate occasions had requested a Federal disaster declaration.
we did pass, you know, a short-term continuing resolution, which does fund FEMA. It's a clean funding bill, which I supported, particularly given what's happened in the State of Texas.
