Remarks

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.

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.
