I think this idea of cutting Customs and Border Patrol, creating some slush fund that you guys get to decide on your own how to use, is really contrary to the whole founding principles of us doing a budget here, sending it to you guys, you…

Mr. Secretary, you took an oath to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic. I believe in many respects you violated that oath.

You directed your own agents on the ground, on the border to defy the laws of Congress, to release violent criminals into our countries.

The most gut-wrenching part of her murder is that it could have been prevented if you and your administration had chosen to enforce the laws on the books.

It states that, 'The government shall take into custody any alien that has committed an aggravated felony. Those are dangerous, violent criminals.'

In my view you have defied the law, you defied Congressional intent and the best interest of the American people.

Where a lord admiral has neglected to safeguard the seas, that shall be deemed an impeachable offense.

Underfunding Customs and Border Protection facilities I think is just going to result in an increased flow of migrants across the border.

When you stop permitting, you're going to stop project of LNG in the United States. And LNG is very clean energy as opposed to what China does.

We should've added LNG terminals in Europe rather than Nord Stream 2 from Russia.

The only question is whether we're going to do it the smart way or with our hand tied behind our backs.
