Let us pass a law to give those local law enforcement officials liability protection against those civil suits, because part of Pat Toomey's sanctuary city law, that could clear up this whole difference.

The defense of this Nation and the defense of our homeland is a top priority of government.

We have obviously committed to securing our border.

We need to allocate the resources to keep this Nation and our homeland safe.

I think it would solve an awful lot of that problem right there.

We cannot be penny wise and pound foolish.

I think that is a pretty reasonable request.

It's easy to blame the U.N. It would be more honest and effective to hold accountable the governments actually responsible.

Threatening to walk away from the Council is not going to give us leverage to achieve the reforms we want.

This is, I think, our 25th hearing on some aspect of border security.

Well, let us put the kinetic part of that Ukrainian conflict aside and just open source, the attack on the electrical grid twice now.

We probably ought to start laying out some pretty strong lines and be very predictable.

Well, they had breakers. They could do that. I am not sure--as I understand the American--and I am no electrical engineer here, sorry.

The U.S. Government has a role here, too.

It is my hope that the Senate will work to address the cybersecurity threat landscape as a whole body.

This Committee has a tradition of working in a bipartisan fashion.

I would much rather be talking about tax simplification--tax rationalization.

The real solution here is simplifying the Tax Code.

It makes eminent sense that you would go the route where it only costs you $1.50.

I would point out that we have given the IRS a lot more responsibility in these things as well.

I think Leader McConnell would be very open to--he is looking for bipartisan pieces of legislation.

So, we will work in a bipartisan fashion with your staff and different Senators.

I would love to work with Senator McCaskill and work with GAO.

The duplication of different regulations imposed on research universities and just in general the overregulation.

I think we are going to have a pretty good discussion with the Inspector General for Tax Administration.
