I think if we expand the personnel who can deal with that, I think that would be a big step in the right direction.

I think we need to move forward with the supplemental proposal with respect to 1,600 new asylum officers, 375 new immigration judges.

I still continue to believe that that's not the right way to go.

Is it a threat to the United States homeland if there is an Iranian government influence operation functioning at the highest levels of the United States administration?

That seems to me to be unimaginably stupid.

Your recommendations is to enact H.R. 2 and to reestablish territorial integrity.

We saw statistics that have recently been released. It shows a record number of immigrants coming across the border.

Iran will continue to threaten U.S. persons directly and via proxy attacks, particularly in the Middle East.

We know Iran is an exporter of terrorists, funding terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

I also want to take a moment to condemn Members of Congress who do not support Israel's right to defend themselves.

I am deeply troubled that the Iranian regime has the audacity to continue to try to reach inside the United States to harm you and other people, including a former Secretary of State, who live freely in this country.

So, if we are going to call out antisemitism, if we're going to call out domestic violent extremism and the incitement of violence, yes, let's be prepared to do it everywhere.

This is reprehensible, and we must redouble our efforts to combat terrorist organizations' ability to radicalize individuals here at home in the United States through the internet.

Iran and its proxies present a clear and present danger to our homeland security, and we must identify ways that the United States can ensure the safety of our citizens abroad and here at home.

I look at the world and all the threats that are out there and what kind of a message are we sending to our adversaries when we can't govern, when we are dysfunctional, when we don't even have a Speaker of the House.

President Biden must reverse course on his failed Iran policy. Appeasement does not work.

Israel has a right to defend itself, and that's the right that we know.

Iran's growing expertise and willingness to conduct aggressive cyber operations make it a major threat to the security of the U.S. and to allied networks and data.

We should acknowledge the historic importance of this struggle, which is led by Iranians and should have the support of all Americans.

The Iranian regime has chosen to make the United States an adversary.

Iran poses a threat to the security of the United States, including here in the homeland.

I firmly believe this legislation furthers U.S. policy toward our allies and Ukraine and Israel.

Smart is not how I would describe Hizballah. I would describe them as terrorists.

I've always said that the world is at its best when America leads.

The bill before us is not just a message to Iran but to the entire world that we are unwavering in our resolve.
