This legislation. in its current form. includes cuts to intelligence and yet significantly increases response and recovery programs. While all are important to homeland security. 1 think we can all agree that It is better to prevent a terrorist attack than be forced to respond to one. According to the Department of Homeland Security. this bill would reduce the Department of Homeland Securitys intelligence support for border security. terrorist travel. and human smuggling. It would severely impact the Departments ability to assess these threats. and would harm their efforts to focus on homegrown terrorism and violent extremism within the United States. My amendment simply adds $10 million for analysis operations to that account to help restore the Departments intelligence functions.
