  1. The Senator makes many valid points about incentives and the increased likelihood of overuse of asylum. It is an argument for relocating applications to enter the U.S. to large U.S. Consulates in sending nations. Part of the solution needs to include removing incentives for trafficking. But the majority of the Federal budget is spent on domestic issues, Senator, and the sense of the American people is not just that the border is a problem, but child care is a problem, health care and drug costs are a problem, domestic gun violence is a problem, Florida property insurance costs are a problem, etc. Our role in Ukraine is to be a consistent team member among many team members in proportion to our ability and in the context of our overall global trade and strategic situation. I know you study all this. It is inaccurate to equate the armed and violent Russian invasion of Ukraine with the economically and safety driven migration into America. On immigration, again, we should be a team member with migrant sending nations to improve the lot of people feeling it necessary to do something so profound as to leave their own home for the United States. It is a compliment by them of us in a way, but it needs to happen decently and in order. So Senator, you did or did not provide a letter with your preferences on immigration to the Lankford committee early in their negotiating process? The United States Senate could not organize itself to do a proper job on this issue? That committee needed a statement of views and proposals from every Senator in its first week if not sooner.
