Remarks

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

Thank you and Ranking Member Fleischmann for your work on the Homeland Security Bill before us today.

Unfortunately, I see areas where the funding and policies included in this bill are political and polarizing.

We all know this is a must-pass bill, and these issues will have to be addressed as we move forward, because they are very serious issues that need our consideration.
