Richard Shelby: “Lifting the ban on U.S. exports of crude oil could give us a real boost in terms of our national security.”

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.

A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.

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

I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.
