Is there anything that you need from us legislatively to assist you in being more aggressive about...

We need to whack them, our neighbors, to understand that they are just not going to keep taking our money...

I hope that we can coalesce around some actual options and solutions.

I think that this humanitarian crisis can be laid directly at the feet of President Obama as a result of his DACA policy in 2012.

Several weeks ago, I called on the President to call up the National Guard. Clearly, this is a National emergency.

the money should go where the threats are and where the targets are.

certainly our veterans, our returning veterans, have got a tremendous skill set that would be just a huge value-add, I know, to your Department.

I remember when I first got on this committee and found out that neither CBP or ICE had ever been formally authorized by the Congress.

It would seem to me that just having more clear guidance from an authorizing standpoint, as well, may be advantageous to your agencies, as well.

To summarize, CFATS has had a positive impact on enhancing security at U.S. chemical sites, and we support making it permanent.

I do think that this Congress--and I hope that we will pursue moving on a border security bill; that is one of the enumerated responsibilities under the Constitution of the Congress.

I certainly want to associate myself with the Chairman's very strong feelings about extradition and we appreciate your assistance.

Those numbers of how much is being consumed in the streets of America are really distressing.

I am very hopeful this committee will have a hearing on next year, as I believe that it, too, is very worthy.

The feedback that we heard was that these voting installation offices weren't convenient for them and it is not the means that they wanted to be outreached to.

Ranking Member Brady, I will double-check the statute, but my recollection is it has to actually be received by Election Day in order to be counted.

the passage of the MOVE Act was the biggest barrier--addressed the biggest barrier that military and overseas voters faced.

The issue of installation voting assistance office outreach was a significant issue for this delegation because it had been the subject of recent scrutiny.

Thank you for calling this very important hearing on this issue.

I introduced a bill to replace Freddie and Fannie. And the biggest concern there and I have here is: How do you establish the necessary capital reserves to protect the taxpayers from losses?

You are going to have internal underwriting done by the facility agency, whatever you want to call it, so you are keeping Government and other entities out.

Which never worked. They made the profits, and the Government and taxpayers took the risk.

Canada is the United States' biggest trading partner, as well.

So I am very confident that this bipartisan bill will put the Nation on the right path to establishing a viable biometric exit system that is certainly long overdue by establishing tight but achievable time lines.

This is not a good security posture for the United States to be in, in my opinion.
