Remarks

The Subcommittee on Homeland Security will come to order.

Welcome Secretary Mayorkas. I sincerely thank you for joining us today as we discuss the Department's Fiscal Year 2024 budget submission.

First, I want to recognize DHS's 20-year anniversary. The Department was forged in the wake of the horrific attacks on September 11th , 2001, and tasked with the critical mission of protecting our Nation against those who would do us harm.

Remarks

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.

Remarks

This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, David Pekoske to testify on TSA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.

Administrator Pekoske, thank you for joining us today. I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate you on being confirmed for a second term as TSA Administrator. In today's political environment, it's quite an achievement to work for multiple Administrations. Thank you for your leadership and your service.

Remarks

Thank you, Director Easterly, for joining us today, and for your military service.

In 2018, Congress authorized CISA to protect the Nation's cyber and physical critical infrastructure. We invested heavily in this operational agency and its mission over the last three fiscal years, increasing the budget by 44 percent from $2 billion to $2.9 billion.

The President's latest request would put you over $3 billion. That's a fair amount of dollars.
