officer, or a border agent next time you see one. who do e "people" extraordinary work. i know we must improve the which the department conducts business. like last year, reforming the ay in which the department of homeland security functions, to more effectively and efficiently to the our services american people. is my new year's resolution for 2016. we've done a lot in the last two years but under the leadership of our undersecretary for management, russ dio, there is still much we will do. goal as ching secretary, this last year, is to protect the homeland and leave the department of homeland security a better place than i found it. he centerpiece of our management reform has been the unity of effort initiative i in april 2014, which away from theting sto pipes in favor of more centralized programming, udgeting and acquisition process processes. transformed our budget. today we're focused department wide on mission needs rather han through component stove pipes, with the support of copping, we're moving to a structure inbudget which line items mean the same across all components. we've transformed our approach to acquisition. dhs year, i established a wide joint requirements council to evaluate from the viewpoint as a whole, ment our components' needs, on the of an acquisition. we have launched the acquisition motion initiative to consult with the contractor community, about ways to improve quality and timeliness of our contracting process. emerging skills required of our acquisition professionals. faster contracting processes in place. our hr process, making our hiring process faster and more efficient. using all the tools we have to recruit, retain, and reward personnel. part of the unity of effort initiative, in 2014, we created forces dedicated to border security along the southern border. once again, we're getting away from the stove pipes. task forces e became fully operational. congress e're asking to officially authorize them in legislation. e're achieving more transparency in our operations. we've stepped up our office of statistics and gave to immigreat data. eturns and removals on a consolidated department wide basis were determined. the long awaited entry-exit overstay report was published in january, providing a clearer of ure of the number individuals in this country who visas.y their visitor it reflects 1% of those who enter this country by air or sea visitor visas or through the visa waiver program overstay. with outside nonpartisan experts on a project develop a er stat to clear and comprehensive set bout metrics for measuring border security, apprehension rates.and inflow since 2013, we've spearheaded something called the dhs data ramework initiative, for the protection of the homeland. we're improving the collection of travel, on other tion and information. we'll do this consistent with aws and policy that is protect privacy and civil liberties. as we have proposed to congress, restructure the national protection and programs doctorate, from a headquarters to an operational cyberand called the nfrastructure protection agency. the budget adopted by congress and signed by the president as omnibus spending deal reached in december. i'm very pleased with that. our homeland f security priorities including inally, the completion of the main building of the new dh headquarters at st. elizabeth's campus in southeast washington. i will never get to work there. but perhaps -- to be admitted. [laughter] but perhaps they will name a courtyard or conference room after me. the president's budget request for 2017 released two days ago priorities to include aviation security, recapitalization and provides a huge increase in funding for cybersecurity. finally, we will improve the levels of employee satisfaction across the department. we've been on an aggressive campaign to improve morale over the last two years. it takes time to turn a 22 240,000 t work force of people in a different direction. though the overall results last disappointing, we see signs of improvement. employee satisfaction improved number of components, including dhs headquarters. year, we will see an improvement in employee dhs.sfaction across in 2016, counterterrorism will remain the cornerstone of the homeland of security's mission. he events of 2015 reinforce this. as i've said many times, we're in a new phase in the global threat, requiring a whole new type of response. we have moved from a world of terrorist directed attacks to a the threat ncludes of terrorist-inspired attacks, in which the terrorist may have face-to-face with a single member of a terrorist us in ation, lives among the homeland, and elf-radicalizes, inspired by something he's found on the internet. by their nature, are rist-inspired attacks harder to detect by our intelligence and law enforcement communities. occur with little or no notice, and, in general, makes or a more complex homeland security challenge. so what are we doing about this? along our government, with our coalition partners, continues to take the fight terrorist to organizations overseas. isil is the terrorist prominent on ost the world stage. since september 2014 air strikes special operations have, in fact, led to the death of a isil's leaders and those focused on plotting west.al attacks in the at the same time, isil has lost about 40% of the populated areas once controlled in iraq, and thousands of square miles of once controlled in syria. on the law enforcement side, the f.b.i. continues to do an excellent job of detecting, and tigating, preventing, prosecuting terrorist plots here in the homeland. s for the department of homeland security, following the attacks in ottawa, canada in 2014, and reaction to terrorist groups public calls for attacks government installations in the western world, i directed our federal protective service enhance his presence and security at various u.s. government buildings around the country. given the prospect of the terrorist-inspired attack on the we have intensified our work with state and local law enforcement. almost every day, dhs and the f.b.i. share intelligence and joint terrorism task forces. police enters, local chiefs and sheriffs. in fy 15 we provided over $2 illion in homeland security assistance to state and local governments around the country or things sufficient as active shooter training exercises, overtime for cops and firefighters, salaries for managers, emergency vehicles, and communications and equipment.e we helped to fund an active shooter training exercise that ook place in the new york city subways last november, and a of these exercises of these ex last weekend in miami, florida. as i said at a graduation ceremony for 1,200 new cops in new york city in december, given environment, reat it is the cop on the beat who may be the first to detect the terrorist attack in the united states. e're enhancing information sharing with organizations that represent businesses, colleges, sports, essional faith-based organizations, and critical infrastructure. measures to ng detect and prevent travel to this country by foreign terrorist fighters. strengthening our visa waiver program, which permits travelers from 38 different here without come a visa. in 2014, we began to collect more personal information in the electronic system for travel organization, also here without a known as the esta system. waiver s from visa countries are required to use, as a result of these 3,000 ments, over additional travelers were denied 2015. here in fy in august, 2015, we introduced tother security enhancements the visa waiver program. through the passage in december waiver program improvement and terrorist travel prevention act of 2015. congress has codified into law several of these security new cements, and placed restrictions on eligibility for travel to the u.s. without a visa. to enforce these new restrictions on january 21. restrictions hese will only be granted on a basis.-case when it is in the law enforcement or national security united states to do so. those denied entry under the visa waiver program as a result this new law may still apply for a visa to travel to the u.s. department'sng the use of social media, for various purposes. media is used for operational rent and investigative purposes. launched in 2014 we four pilot programs that mediaed consulting social for certainly immigration benefits. reviews the social media of syrian refug refugee enhanceds referred for vetting. based upon the recent recommendation of a social media dhs.force within i have determined that we must social media of even further, consistent with law. cbp is deploying our customs personnel at various airports air d to pre-clear travelers before they get on flights to the united states. present, we have this pre-clearance capability at 15 irports overseas, and last year, through pre-clearance we denied boarding to over 10,700 travelers or 29 per day seeking to enter the united states. i said here last year, we want to build more of these. announced 10 additional airports in nine prioritized t we for pre-clearance. for congress, for years, congress and others have urged system of op a biometric exit. that is, to take the biometric s or other data of those who leave the country. bp has begun testing technologies that can be deployed for this nationwide, omnibus passage of the bill, congress authorized $1 over a in fee increases period of 10 years to pay for biometric ntation of exit. have directed cbp to begin implementing the system starting at airports in 2018. announced the schedule for the final two implementation of the real i.d. law, which goes into effect two and four years from now. at present, 23 states are in compliant with the law. extensions, and six states are territories out of compliance. this law, right, jane? >> now, that the final timetable this law entation of is in place, we'll urge all tates for the good of their residents to start issuing real driver's licenses as soon as possible. in the current threat environment, there is a role for too.ublic, if you see something, say, something, it must be more than slogan. we continue to stress this. hs has now established partnerships with the nfl, major league baseball, and nascar, to awareness at sporting events. an informed public contributes to national security. the cember, we formed national terrorism advisory system. in 2011, we replaced the color alerts with that, but the problem with it was that never used it. consisted of just two types of alert. levated and imminent and depended on the presence of a and credible threat. this does not work in the current environment, which of udes the threat home-grown, self-cad ralized inspired attacks. so in december we added a new n-tas f advisory, the bulletin. the bulletin we issued in of mber advises the public the current threat environment and how the public can help. given the nature of the evolving terrorist threat diverse bridges to communities has become a homeland security imperative. families and communities are the best defense ideologies.orist al qaeda and the islamic state are targeting muslim communities in this country. we must respond. as importanthis is as any of our other homeland security missions. 2015, we took these efforts to new levels. created the dhs office of community partnerships headed by george celine. now e and this office are the central hub of the department's efforts to counter this t extremism in country and the lead for a new force, that task f.b.i., dhs, doj, the and other agencies. we're taking aggressive steps to improve aviation and airport security. traveling public should be aware because of this, an increased traveler volume, overall, weight times have somewhat at airports. but we believe this is necessary safety.public's own enhanced , we have security. a number of foreign governments ave replicated these enhancements. as many of you know, in may of last year, a certain classified general's test of tsa screening at eight airports fail rate andsmal was leaked to the press. 10-point plan to fix the problem identified by our inspector general. leadership of admiral pete -- over the last six months, tsa has aggressively implemented this plan. 24 has included back to basics, of the entire tso increased use of random race detectors, testing and re-evaluating the screening equipment, a rewrite of the standard operating procedures increased manual screening, and less managed eninclusion. implemented s were on or ahead of schedule. e're also focused on airport security. in april of last year, tsa domestic delines to airports, to reduce access to secure areas to require that all airline personnel pass through tsa screening if hey board a flight, to conduct more frequent screening of airport and airline personnel, nd to conduct continuous criminal background checks of airport and airline personnel. then, employee access points have been reduced, and andom screening of personnel within secure areas has increased fourfold. efforts tinuing these in 2016, two days ago, tsa issued guidelines to further screening of aviation workers in the secure airports. while counterterrorism remains a cornerstone of our department's concluded that cybersecurity must be another. improvements to our nation's cybersecurity is a top priority for me, and resident bones: before we leave office. wo days ago, the president announced his cybersecurity national action plan, which is the culmination of seven years effort by his administration. the plan includes a call for the a commission on enhancing national cybersecurity. dditional investments in technology, federal cybersecurity, cybereducation, federal talent in the work force, and improved responsibility. dhs has a role in almost every aspect of this plan. threated in the president's 2017 budget request, we want to cyberresponse teams from 10 to 48. e're doubling the number of cybersecurity advisers to, in effect, make house calls to private sector organizations, customize ybersecurity assessments and best practices. building on dhs's stop, think, campaign, we'll have promote public awareness on multifactor authentication. we'll collaborate with underwriter's laboratory and others to develop a assurance program networks d certify devices within the internet of things such as your home alarm system, your refrigerator, or even your pacemaker. last year, we greatly expanded dhs's national of cybersecurity communications or n-kick. center it increased its distribution of nformation, number of vulnerability assessments conducted and the number of responses. built a system to automate the seat and distribution of cyberthreat indicators, in near real-time speed. we built this in a way that also privacy protections. we did this ahead of schedule. aggressive d an timetable for improvement federal civilian cybersecurity, two dhs ly through programs. the first is called einstein. einstein one and two have the ability to detect and monitor ybersecurity threats in our federal civilian systems. they are now in place across all civilian departments and agencies. is the newest type of system and has the ability to actually block potential cyberattacks on our federal systems. actually e-3-a has blocked 700,000 cyberthreats, expanding thisly capability. about a year ago, e-3-a covered our federal % of civilian networks. in the wake of the attack in may year, i directed our cybersecurity team to make at e-3-a some aspects of available to all federal departments and agencies by the year.f last they met that deadline. to the system is available everyone. 50% are actually online, workingg opm, and we're to get all federal departments and agencies on-board by the end year.s the second program called and nuous diagnostics mitigati mitigation, helps agencies prioritize vulnerabilities in networks. in 2015, we provided cdm sensors civilian the federal government. next year, dhs will provide the cdm to 100% of the federal civilian government. dni,ve worked with omb and to identify government's high value systems, and we're working aggressively with the owns of these systems to increase their security. in september, dhs awarded a grant to the university of to work withtonio, the industry to identify a practices forbest the development of information sharing and analysis organizations. finally, i thank congress for act of the cybersecurity 2015. this new law is a huge assist to and our cybersecurity mission, and we're in the this newf implementing law now. turning to immigration and i explain itty, as to both democrats and policy ans, immigration must be two sides of the same coin. to enforcees we have immigration laws are finite and they must be used wisely. every aspect f every -- of law enforcement. with the immigration enforcement isis focused have, more sharply on public safety and border security. convicted of serious crimes or who are apprehended at the border are priorities for removal. and we will enforce the law in with these priorities. accordingly, over the last years, deportations by ice have gone down but an ncreasing percentage of those deported are convicted criminals an increased percentage of those, in immigration detention. in the top re priority for removal. we'll continue to focus our most ces on the significant threats to public safety and border security. furtherance of our public safety efforts, in 2014, we did controversial security communities program and replaced it with the new enforcement program or pep. pep fixes the political and my l controversies in judgment associated with secure communities and enables us to into custody local, from local law enforcement the most dangerous criminals. since pep was created, cities previously that refused to work with secure communities are coming back to table. of the 25 largest counties that refused to work with ice before, 16 are now participating in pep. in 2016 we want to get more to participate. and because we're asking ice enforcement officers to focus on convict asked criminals and do a job that's with law ne enforcement, last year can, we -- formed a pay scale. now they are paid on the same the rest of federal law enforcement. we've also prioritized the apprehended at the board. to be't allow our borders open to illegal migration. over the last 15 years our multiple oss administrations has invested a border security and this investment has yielded positive ruts. apprehensions, which are an total attempts to cross the border illegally, are to action of what they used be. in 2014, overall apprehensions spike in as we saw a the number of families and unaccompanied children from entral america during the spring and summer of 2014. that year, overall number of 479,000.ions was across the government we responded aggressively to this fell and the numbers sharply, within a short period of time. number of those apprehended on the southwest with the 331,000, exception of one year, this was 1972.west number since 2015, the to december, number of migrants from central america began to climb again. announced a series of focused enforcement actions remove into custody and those who had been apprehended at the board in 2014 or later, ordered removed by an immigration court. made a lot of people i respect very unhappy but as i in we must respect the law accordance with our priorities and enforce it. n january, overall, apprehensions on the southwest border dropped 36%, from the before. at the same time, the number of unaccompanied children 54%, and thedropped number of those in families dropped 65%. so far in february, the numbers ave remained at this decreased level. this six-week decline is encouraging but it does not mean hat we can dial back our efforts. we'll continue to enforce the law, consistent with our enforcement, which includes those apprehended in 2014 or later. then there is the other side of the coin. policy the rcement president and i announced in november 2014, makes clear that limited resources will not be focused on the removal of hose who have committed no serious crimes, have been in this country for years, and have families here. policy, these people are not priorities for removal. be.should they in fact, the president and i want to offer to those who have here for at least five years, are parents of u.s. citizens, law enforcement residents, and who have committed no serious crimes, an opportunity to request deferred a case-by-case basis. to come out of the shadows, get be held oks, and accountable. we're pleased that the supreme ourt has agreed to hear the case of texas versus united states, which involves the new eferred action policies we announced in november 2014. our immigration enforcement secureies, the ending of communities, and the new deferred action policy now in among 10 , are executive actions the president 2014 announced in november to fix our broken immigration system. e've also issued a proposed rule to expand eligibility for provisional extreme hardship waivers. of the three and 10-year bars to stat forly who for a waiver. we published new guidance for extreme mment on the hardship requirement, the comment period is closed and we on to issue final guidance extreme hardship very soon. we're about to publish a final strengthen the program that provides optional practical stem ng for students in fields studying at u.s. universities. e finalized a new rule that allows spouses of high skilled h workers that are here under visas to apply for work authorization. we're working with the other ent of labor and agencies to ensure, for the protection of workers, enforcement of federal, labor, employment, and laws.ation we're promoting and increasing citizenship through the white house task force. to week of september 14 september 21, we celebrated the citizenship campaign in. that one week, natural 40,000 were naturalized. we now permit credit cards as payment option for fees.lization our overall policy is to focus more migration resources effectively on threats to public safety and border security. our existing legal authority, do as much as we can the broken immigration system. we're disappointed that congress our partner in this effort, by passing comprehensive legislation.eform finally, we recognize that more deportationsty and may deter illegal immigration, they do do not -- nothing to overcome the push factors that prompt desperate central america in the first place. we're preparing to offer ulnerable individuals fleeing the violence in central america a safe and legal alternative, a to a better life. we're expanding our refugee dmissions program to help vulnerable men, women and children in central america who qualify as refugees. u.n. partnering with the high commissioner for refugees, nongovernmental organizations, in the region, to do this as soon as possible. this approach builds on our recently established central program, which is now providing an in country efugee processing option for certain children with law enforcementfully present parents states.united -- lawfully present parents in the u.s. conjunction with the department of state is working hard to meet our commitment to 10,000 syrian refugees by the end of this fiscal year. e'll do this carefully, screening refugees in a multilayered and intense involving rocess, multiple law enforcement, national security, and across thee agencies federal government. over the last year, director joe secret service has done a tremendous job, reforming agency. including hiring a chief operating officer, from outside service, altering the structure and management of the agency, ramping up efforts to members of its work force, and expanding training opportunities. 2016, we'll continue to work on areas that still need improvement. with the help of congress in 016, we'll continue to rebuild the coast guard fleet. this year, congress has provided unding for a ninth national security cutter, designed funding for the offshore patrol funding to continue production of our fast response cutter. as rethreatened in the president's 2017 budget request, for also seek 150 million the design of a new heavy ice breaker, in recognition of the commercial activity in the arctic. law 2012, our federal enforcement training center has trained more than a quarter of a million federal, state and local officers and agents. at the same time, we continue to curriculum to address the biggest challenges facing aw enforcement, to include training for active shooter situations, in cyber-forensics and in human trafficking. in 2016, fema will continue to extraordinary job of supporting the american people for, mmunities to prepare respond to, and recover from various disasters. to focus on tinue efforts to enhance resilience measures before disaster strikes to prevent loss save lives. we continue to promote lawful trade and travel. we'll continue to pursue the president's -- the u.s. mexico and economic dialogue beyond the border initiative with canada. we're implementing the single december 2016 y will enable the private sector portal to one transmit information to 47 government agencies about imports.and thereby eliminating over 200 streamliningms and the trade process. last week, the secretary of commerce and i joined the of mexico to open a el pasolane bridge near that replace a 78-year-old two-lane one. the mexican'll join secretary of finance to naugurate a pre-inspection texas.n laredo, in conclusion, according to magazine, i have "probably the hardest job in america." that's not true. the president has the hardest job in america. 10. i'm a rank in the top i have a lot of challenges, a a lot of blems, and headaches. there is also far too much partisanship in washington, and an election ring year. politics has become a blood town. in this too often, it is more important to score political points than smart, sound, government policy, on behalf of the american people. all, i still love public service. thei'm dedicated to serving american people, protecting our homeland, and serving our president. i find inspiration in the work g stories of our force that i told you about at the beginning of this speech. and o find inspiration strength in the weekly batch of receive from the american people. we serve, particularly from the kids.l here's one from a young man shepherd.t handwritten, in pencil. to jeh johnson. say, i think to job.re doing a good i ran for class president in my government class. the ed up becoming secretary of homeland security. [laughter] honestly, i would rather be. president is not all it's up to be. like bret, at this moment, in there isof our nation, nothing i would rather be, than secretary of homeland security. it is and always will be the highlight of my professional life. left to me in offers, i pledge all of my protect continue to the homeland and lead the department of home -- leave the homeland security a better place than i found it. thank you very much. [applause] [applause] for the hank you longest and best received tenure at the wilson center. bravo and to was all of those who work in the department, thank you. in the new deputy over corner, david -- former a chief of staff to the senate intelligence committee but much any of that t than a former member of team harmon. yes, you can rt, applaud that. that's true. he best trained people in the department, used to work on team harmon. time is short. i'm only going to ask one question. i'm culling on my dear friend, homeland number two, mike ask the second question and then we'll try to take a few more. setup. >> you bet. >> so my question is this. predicting for years bombs on could be airplanes. we've fortunately foiled most of the plots. cases recently, not in planes to the united states, there have been bombs on airplane. the first one was an egyptian that blew up and krashed over the sinai and the second one was in somalia just a or so ago, and it looked like, and i think we think, an employee, in fact, we suicide o, helped a bomber bring a computer on-board that was, in fact, a bomb. died, everyone else survived. miraculous miraculously. is, you addressed the issue of airport security details can tional you give us about how intensely issue of used on the airport employees, catering, and thers, bringing bombs on airplanes. we have ahe good news very proactive tsa dministrator, in pete -- and i think, a very proactive secretary of homeland security, aviation and to security. we're focused on airport security, as i said in my remarks. we've reduced domestically the number of access points, more screening of airline and airport personnel. tsa ust two days ago, issued further guidelines to that.on right after the crash of 9268, we, within a of days, put in place enhancements at certain airports in the region. whicht identify precisely ones. around things brought on airplanes, we sent inspectors to these airports, not just the specific one, but a number of region, i'm always concerned about not just responding to the last event, potential future event, which is not going to be last event, and so, we're doing all this, where we're ocused and considering more that we should e doing, with respect to overseas airports. we have the ability through airlines, through our relationship with other put out , to guidelines, that influence the behavior of airport authorities airport security at overseas airports. in particular, the last point of airports, and those are mostly in europe. and are in the middle east we regulate those pretty carefully, and the security at our last point of departure good, as i retty said in my prepared remarks, i went to send our customs front end of the flights, that's what's referred to as pre-clearance, where we have this set up, it's been very, very effective. the overall point here is that, in anything we do in security and airport security, you've got to strike between the ance appropriate level of physical overburdening ot the american public. the traveling public, and making lines unduly long. as i said in my remarks, because enhancements we've imposed over the last six to nine months, wait times have gotten longer. but i think the american public understands that and appreciates that. enhancements we've michael che. we have a mike coming. me say, secretary johnson, great talk and a great on ey of what's been going and what's to come. i know, i direct -- i think testified that there may be more violent in the world than at any previous time and we've begun to see in san bernardino paris, what i sometimes call crowd sourcing in terrorism. not necessarily trained in country, but are inspired and trained over the attacks.to carry out those are generally low signature. detectt quite as easy to as a large plot. i wanted to hear, if you can bit, on what e we're doing with state and local government, and law enforcement, with the private sector, to help them deal with this new have where we may not catastrophic terrorist attacks, ut we may have multiple low level attacks, in various at the sequentially or same time. i'm very proud of the fact that, mike and homeland ood of security, have struck a very relationship.n last year, at exactly this time, hen we were trying to get funding for our department and we were looking at a government department, mike and tom ridge stood with me at an event where we highlighted the need to keep funding homeland security for the american people. mike,really do department, mik friendship we have. that's one. actor rorist inspired makes for a more complex homeland security challenge. and it is very difficult to identify this city over that risk of t could be at an attack from a terrorist-inspired actor. so, as you know, through our a lot aking, we provide of assistance to state and local law enforcement. state level grants, we provide urban area security nitiative grants, urban area grants, which will we'll be announcing in the next couple of days for 2016. and, as i see this threat evolve, i think our grants to ps and our state and local law enforcement becoming more and more important. i've made a point, you saw that graphic, of highlighting active shooter training. active shooter training works. work.e seen it have seen videos of our very own personnel responding to an event. on impulse, with how to -- what to tell the public, and when you ask them, why did you respond so quickly, they will say, we had active shooter training. i know the value of it? >> and i've been making a pinpoint of highlighting it, i went to the new york city event, which issy went o the miami -- which is why i went to the miami event. i'll be doing more of this and when i spoke to the sheriffs yesterday, i said, if you're not doing active shooter training you need to be. key to active shooter training is very often, because response, it will be multijurisdictional and multidisciplined. miami training last weekend, for example, you had a forces, n of police first responders, who were all at a ging on an event particular moment, and we need to do more of that training and of eed to support that kind training. of course, you know about our it's almost always the case. that when somebody self-radicalizes, there is something in position to know build t, and the more we bridges, to communities, muslim communities in particular, the off i think we'll be. and when i do these, i always state and local law enforcement with me, because more than e ones who the federal government, have their finger on the pulse of the community. on the subject of long said hip, i've that the terrorists won't check our party registration before they blow us up. questions and no time so we're going to do lightning round. he woman in the green dress, the man in the middle, in the red tie and in the back, the glasses. right there. you. those are the three, please just question, one short question. >> problem. thank you, my name -- recently president. $4.12 trillion u.s. dollars budget for 2017 and 40.6 billionre than for department of homeland security. less than little bit 2016. does it mean your department is less challenges in confronting terrorism? and also, according to the -- isis says it's going to this year. -- soil how do you >> that was one and a half questions. the man
