I again thank my colleagues for being out here and for all of the
discussions we have had on these issues. We should not be afraid to
have these discussions. We should not be afraid to think about how we
are going to work not only across the aisle, as I have done with my
colleague Susan Collins on those homeland security Court issues--we
worked successfully with Jeh Johnson, the last Homeland Security
director, to make sure that we were moving some of our airport border
control issues to overseas airports. We were able to get that done in
December
after the San Bernardino event and make sure that we are now working. Why do we want them over there? Why do we want the border control and
efficiency over there? Because then you can work more in coordination
with law enforcement about who bad actors are before they reach the
shores of the United States. By working with local law enforcement in
those countries, we have better ways to find information about
individuals we have concerns about.
