Richard Shelby: “Your commitment to protecting both taxpayers and homeowners has served our Nation well, and we are finally beginning to…”

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.

I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.

The Department of Navy has played and will continue to play a critical role in the defense of our Nation.

Because the administration has refused to fund the construction of a comprehensive barrier along the border, it has been compelled to send the National Guard to deal with the consequences.
