I would argue it should be a policy to defeat ISIS where they are, where they exist and prevent them from coming into the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
This policy of containment is not a winning strategy. We need a policy to defeat and destroy ISIS once and for all.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I am extremely concerned that Syrian and ISIS recruiters can use the Internet at lightning speeds to recruit followers in the United States with thousands of followers in the United States and then activate them to do whatever they want to do.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is the largest external operation force within al Qaeda.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Do we want a back door in an iPhone where the government can go in to track movements if they have probable cause? I know the director of the FBI and local law enforcement want that capability.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Unfortunately, cancer is the number one killer of children in this country today, and it destroys not only these innocent victims, but their families as well.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I know there's a lot of discussion about building a 2000-mile wall. I think we need to complete the Secure Fencing Act, but we need greater technology and aviation aspects down on the Southwest border so we can see the threat from the sky. Until you can see it, you don't know where it's coming from and how to correctly stop it.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We talk a lot about operational control, and that's having a better understanding of who's coming in and who's leaving, what the threat really is. We're never really going to get that.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We're making it more difficult to obtain the necessary ingredients to produce meth and tightening criminal penalties for those who deal in this dangerous drug.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
To prevent a crippling attack on our nation's critical networks, U.S. companies and the federal government must work together to combat those who wish to do us harm.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Without - you know, good intelligence stops plots against the homeland. Without that intelligence, we cannot effectively stop it.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
There's no national strategy to deal with combating terrorism and foreign fighters.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
What you're seeing is tension that we've seen for years between President Erdogan and his military, his military being more secular, President Erdogan being a little more in the Islamist side of the house.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
My number one objective continues to be to defund or delay the implementation of Obamacare. But as long as any piece of this law is standing, it needs to apply to all Americans equally, and that includes members of Congress and our staff.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I think a lot of programs, policies have been put in place since 9/11, have prevented a 9/11-style attack. On the other hand, I think the threat has become greater, not lesser.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
That's what really concerns me about the modern-day terrorists that we face is this global expansion.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
This is an unprecedented pace of terror in modern times. And so, to say they're on the run absolutely defies reality.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We know there are terrorists communicating with individuals in the United States. We just can't see what they're saying.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Social media campaigns and the savviness of ISIS and propaganda is what greatly concerns us Homeland Security officials.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Currently, the United States provides 22 percent of the U.N. annual budgets, over $900 million in fiscal year 2007, and some of that funding goes to the Human Rights Council.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Violent extremism is going viral, but our response to it is moving at bureaucratic, sluggish speed.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
The President of Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and the West and has even denied the holocaust took place. Iran and its terrorist arm Hezbollah are responsible for the current conflicts between Israel and Lebanon.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I think there's kind of a simplistic, kind of knee-jerk response that all you have to do is build a 2,000-mile wall, and problem solved.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
In Europe, you have very different situation than you do in the United States. In Europe, it's very segregated. And you have the diasporas in Belgium that I saw. And they're being radicalized because they're not assimilated with the culture. I don't think we have that same situation in the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Now we're dealing with a younger generation of terrorists that are very, very savvy with computer skills, very savvy over the Internet, and very savvy with social media of the likes that we have never seen before.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
On this National Agriculture Day, when we all should be taking time to thank and pay tribute to America's farmers, ranchers and their families who produce the food for our tables, we are finding those same people in dire need of our help and support.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We are ramping up security in the United States but also looking at visa applicants, visa waiver applicants - and looking at travel manifests on the airplanes trying to come into the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We think there should be a better countering-violent-extremism effort, that there should be a lead agency tasked to handle that.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I take ISIS at its word. When they said, in their words, 'We'll use and exploit the refugee crisis to infiltrate the West,' that concerns me.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
200,000 ISIS tweets a day, 1,000 investigations in all 50 states. It's really hard to stop all of it. But we have to get control over this Internet propaganda that is poisoning the minds of the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We're trying to find needles in the haystack, and the needles are going dark, and it's because of this phenomenon we can't track their movements.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We are monitoring very closely threats against the pope as he comes in to the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
Additionally, any Human Rights Council reform that allows countries with despicable human rights records to remain as members, such as China and Saudi Arabia, is not real reform.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I was in Cairo, Egypt, where Sinai - ISIS conducted the Russian airliner downing. We're concerned about safety and security at these last point-of-departure airports flying directly into the United States - in that case, JFK.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
We're dealing with an enemy now, ISIS, that has a very sophisticated social media program.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
The dark space is one of the biggest concerns on the part of counterterrorism officials right now. Comey did a good job of explaining how they jump into a direct messaging box and then go into platforms designed specifically to be secure. There's no way, even if we have a lawful court order, to be able to access those communications.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
One of the chapters outlined in my book talks about the Iranian influence with Venezuela, these terror flights that go back and forth that we don't manifests on, and then nuclear material smuggled across our unsecure southwest border from Mexico into the United States.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I'm very disturbed about the uptick in shootings and violence at our military installations across the nation.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
I would advise Donald Trump to try to bring and unify this party together.
Quote by -Michael McCaul
In the Steven F. Austin Colony, which was the first colony, Texans first established a provisional government in 1835 with the intention of writing a declaration of independence soon after.
