Rep. Jerry Carl: Combatting foreign enemies and strengthening our border

Putting America first has been and will remain my top priority. Recently, the House voted on crucial pieces of legislation that secure our Southern Border, protect America, and support some of our greatest allies.

The Biden Administration’s failed policies and weak leadership on the global stage have made America less safe every day, and we cannot allow him to continue putting America last.

Not only are Israel and Taiwan under attack, but also America has an invasion of her own. Our Southern Border is wide open, illegal migrants are flowing in by record numbers, and once again, President Biden is only incentivizing it. Unfortunately, H.R. 3602, End the Border Catastrophe Act, did not pass the House. This legislation is extremely similar to H.R. 2, which to date is one of the strongest bills to secure our border.  

Our greatest Middle Eastern ally, Israel, has been in a constant battle against terrorism and external threats. They are fighting for their mere existence, and our unwavering support is vital. I voted in support of H.R. 8034, Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which provides Israelis with the resources to replenish the Iron Dome and David’s Sling. We have moral duty to protect God’s Chosen People, and Israel will always have my unequivocal support. 

Israel is under attack, and China’s aggression towards Taiwan is not slowing down. This is a direct result of the Biden Administration loosening sanctions on the Iranian regime, and their weak leadership on the global stage. On Saturday, April 20, I supported H.R. 8038, 21st Century Peace Through Strength Act, which reimposes strong sanctions against Iran and China. These sanctions weaken external threats against Western civilization. 

My House Republican colleagues and I are fighting for the security of the American people and some of our most vulnerable allies. These pieces of legislation put America first and ensure peace and justice in the free world.

There must be an end to all of the Biden Administration’s destructive policies; Americans cannot afford to live like this much longer.
