Good morning. I've really been looking forward to our hearing today. First, I would like to thank all our witnesses for taking time to come speak to us today.
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.
Madam Secretary, welcome back to the House Appropriations Committee. I know you were here last week before the Financial Services Subcommittee so we appreciate your time with us today and for your service to our country.
We look forward to your testimony on the Fiscal Year 2024 budget request for the Department of Treasury's International Programs.
