So you know there were responsive documents, but you have not gotten those responsive documents.

It is really form over substance.

So how does the Administration get around that statutory requirement?

we have certainly fulfilled the first. I think we certainly understand how important these positions of permanent Inspector General are.

I have certainly made a commitment to move nominations for this Administration as quickly as possible.

But it took 2 or 3 years before the message--and I am sure J.M. Berger can amplify on this.

There is an obvious piece of legislation that we need to start working on.

They are using social media to show that they are actually stronger than they are.

The danger is real. In many respects, the threat is growing.

I hope we have learned that failed States are not good for our security.

As we are trying to grapple with a border that is not secure--and, by the way, that was our first hearing.

The reason we separated the judiciary from the police is a very important one.

We should do the same for American citizens, and we really should not be collecting their data in bulk.

The real culprit is government.

I would just really hope that the Department will work with this Committee, work with this office, and let us start taking that step-by-step approach.

I think you appropriately answered that is not going to happen within this Administration.

That is dictated by basic fairness. Context and balance matter.

As long as we detect them, apprehend them, and then process them with a notice to appear, and then disperse from around America into the shadows, we are going to continue to have that problem.

You kind of know where it is.

Today's opportunity instills fresh hope that our voice and Senator Johnson comes back, but before DC, comes back for the invite, I truly appreciate that.

the root cause of the fact that we do not have a secure border is America's insatiable demand for drugs

I want to see where we have our strengths and where we have our weaknesses.

We cannot tolerate an uncontrolled border, an unsecured border, and an immigration process that is out of control that is all based on illegal immigration.

We have to really take a look at our laws and take a look at those incentives for illegal immigration.
