                       Nomination of Kristi Noem

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, today, the Senate will vote on the 
nomination of Kristi Noem. I am voting no today.
  There are obvious and bipartisan solutions to fix the mess at our 
border and to greatly improve our immigration system. Those solutions 
include the bipartisan border security bill we introduced last year 
with Senators Lankford, Murphy, and Sinema; and, even better, a 
comprehensive reform package along the lines of the bipartisan 
compromise of the Gang of 8 from 2013. These are real solutions that 
would solve our immigration problem, and Kristi Noem seems headed in 
the wrong direction.
  I will vote no.
