Richard Shelby: “The threat is growing”

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

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

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.

Regrettably, this was all predictable and avoidable.
