in the department of homeland security rather than a new budget. that will cripple our ability to manage the border. that will either mean massive layoffs, massive lassoffs of -- layoffs of cdb personnel, and other personnel or it will mean a massive reprogramming in which the biden administration is forced to take money from cybersecurity and put it on to the border or steal money from the coast guard and coastal defense and put it on the border. one independent study showed that a decrease of just 33c.b.p. officers at our ports of entry would decrease g.d.p. of $66 million and lead to a loss of over 1,000 jobs. why? because at our ports of entry when you have a massive downsizing of personnel, wait times go up, businesses lose money. if we're on a c.r. and we don't pass a budget, coast guard readiness is compromised. the money in this budget for a new offshore patrol cutter, for national security cutters, for the sustainment of the aging rotary wing aircraft fleet, unavailable, and so our coast guard readiness continues to suffer, compromising u.s

amy: a new research from brown university's cost of war project shows the department of homeland security overly focused on foreign and foreign-inspired terrorism while violent attacks in the u.s. have more often come from domestic sources, you know, talking about white supremacy, for example. neeta crawford is with this, just outside the cop, the u.n. summit. she is the co-director of the cost of war project. professor, we welcome you back to democracy now! why are you with the climate summit? we usually just talk to you but the overall cost of war. >> thank you, amy. i am here because there are several universities in the u.k. who want to try to include military emissions more fully and the individual countries declarations of their emissions. every year, every country that is in the parties to the treaty from kyoto have to put some of their military emissions in their national inventory. it is not a full accounting. that is what we would like to see. juan: neeta crawford, could you talk about what is not being registered or monitored in terms of the military? it is not just the fuel th

tucson's city officials and fgos have teamed up with the department of homeland security to manage high numbers of asylum seekers and other migrants arriving in arizona. this has been a successful partnership that has helped both migrants and has protected our communities. chief magnus' role in this partnership shows that he understands the correct issues at our borders. he collaborates effectively with various stakeholders to tackle complicated problems and he's ready to get to work to solve these issues. chief magnus also understands we need to secure the border. this is a law enforcement challenge that starts at our ports of entry, which is where most of the narcotics cross the southwest border into our nation. cbp needs a commissioner who understands how to thwart these narcotics while also allowing for the legitimate flow of trade and safely. arizona, particularly tucson, is a critical link in the flow of cross-border commerce along the southwest border. chief magnus has built great relationships in arizona and i'm certain he'll bring that same consensus-building, common-seven appr

having no confidence in the ability of the sick to my august and his leadership within the department of homeland security to effect any positive outcome on this matter. they say that the real issue is that the united states can't control its borders and that officials are out of touch with the real crisis on the ground. on land security chief, even admits he doesn't have key data on migrant crossings. about this, how many deaths, how many illegal aliens have died crossing illegally into the united states. under jo biden's administration, i don't have that data migrant crossings continue to happen with n g o is providing aid to those crossing the border, making the process white easier. the actual numbers are not known, but many speculate. the situation is quite serious. i managed to get in the gates. i demanded entry once and was refused. i talked to guard into letting me in, on another occasion. and when i was in there, i saw buses pulling up, probably about $100.00 migrants over an hour get off of these bosses. many say it looks like the biden administration is shirking responsibility. refusing to admi
