The objective of this budget is not to secure our border, but to force CBP personnel to process illegal aliens into the interior of the United States.

President Biden himself likes to quote, and I quote him, 'Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.'

This budget proposal is an insult to every American. It fails to take seriously many of the most pressing national security threats, especially our wide open border.

Secretary, every time you fail to acknowledge that this is a crisis, you lose even more credibility with the men and women of DHS, to say nothing to the American people.

Acknowledgment that there could have been better options and that our withdrawal was, in fact, chaotic.

This comes at a time in which we have an unprecedented crisis at the Southern Border as a direct result of Secretary Myorkas' failure to enforce the laws that are currently standing on our books.

Terror groups within Afghanistan have re-established the country as a breeding ground and a safe haven for terrorism.

Turning the tide of decades of failed foreign policies with each Administration in the 21st century is not going to be an easy task.

We will never atone for the sins of slavery. But a step in the right direction is purging our supply chains of slave labor.

The United States must stand with the people of Africa and for the principles of freedom and rule of law.

I am concerned about the potential of a second Chinese base in Africa, especially on the Atlantic coast.

In the fall of 2020, my analysis was that an accelerated withdrawal without meeting specific and necessary conditions risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, damaging U.S. world-wide credibility and could precipitate a…

As our African partners move away from Western colonialism, they must know that they have our full support as partners.
