U.S. Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) are drawing awareness to former President Joe Biden after an Afghani national shot two National Guardsmen near the White House last week.
Two West Virginia National Guardsmen were ambushed in what officials describe as a targeted attack near Farragut Square.
National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom died from her injuries, and the second Guard member, Andrew Wolfe, is still in critical condition.
President Donald Trump has put a pause on all asylum decisions in the wake of the attack.
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”
Britt argued Sunday that this would have never happened if it were not for the actions of the previous administration. She also added that the left’s rhetoric surrounding the immigration issue is putting out National Guard and law enforcement at risk.
“A combination of the Biden Administration’s gross negligence—allowing unvetted entry to our country—and the Left’s relentless vilification of law enforcement by calling them Nazis, labeling them threats to democracy, and more has pushed our country to multiple boiling points,” Britt said on X.
The senator said she supports to President’s decision in trying to sure up the vetting process when it comes to those trying to claim asylum.
“[Trump]’s plans to pause migration from countries of concern and continue overhauling our immigration system are matters of national security and have my support,” she added.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) took it a step further and argued that any immigrant who is shown to be a radical Islamist should be immediately deported.
“The Afghan terrorist who shot 2 National Guard heroes in D.C. was welcomed into this country with open arms by Joe Biden,” Tuberville said. “We must IMMEDIATELY BAN all ISLAM immigrants and DEPORT every single Islamist who is living among us just waiting to attack.”
