Homeland Security (115th Congress)

There will be times we will disagree on funding priorities, as well as policies, interpretation of law, and enforcement priorities, just as I disagree with some of the prior administration. Among those disagreements is the president’s proposed border wall, because it isn’t enough to just ask whether an investment improves homeland security. We must also consider the fact that each additional segment of physical barrier at the border comes at the expense of other important priorities, both inside and outside of the department.
