The work agents and officers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection do every day has immense importance to both our national and economic security.
Put simply, their collective job is to keep bad things and people from entering the country illegally.
However, our agents and officers' jobs are made harder by the President's fundamentally unserious budget request for CBP.
Today's hearing will come to order.
This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Deanne Criswell, to testify on FEMA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.
Administrator Criswell, thank you for joining us today, and thank you for your decades of service to our country in the military, as a firefighter and first responder, and your years in emergency management.
FEMA has the simple—yet critical—mission of helping the American people before, during, and after disasters.
Thank you for appearing today, Madam Secretary. I am looking forward to this discussion, and especially looking forward to hearing from a distinguished and well-respected former colleague. I am very glad that HUD has a Secretary who understands what we do here in the House, and we thank you for your hard work and service to the American people.
I also want to welcome my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to this budget hearing. I know we're all excited to hear from you and start the process of getting to a bipartisan bill that responsibly funds the government.
Good afternoon. I appreciate you all being here.
