The Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government will come to order.
Good afternoon, everyone, and Chair Gensler, welcome back to the Subcommittee. My colleagues and I are looking forward to today's conversation with you.
The nation's economy remains in a precarious position. The banking sector is in a state of unrest, prices continue to be inflated due to excessive spending, and the country's debt is on an unsustainable trajectory. Yet, this Administration is proposing a budget that is more of the same.
Thank you, Chairman Joyce.
And thank you, Mr. Secretary, for appearing before us today.
Since you last testified before this committee, the situation at the border has not improved.
And having lived in Texas, I've been there many, many times.
Last year, a record 2.7 million migrants attempted to cross the border illegally.
This year, the trend is even worse.
We have already had more than 1 million migrant encounters.
The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs will come to order.
