The first and most important job of the Federal Government is protecting its citizens. From day one, President Biden, who campaigned as the unifier in chief, has made record unilateral decisions to compromise the security of our country and undermine the rights of the American people.

I welcome all freedom-loving and law-abiding citizens who want to make a better life for themselves in this country, but we must respect the sovereignty of this country, we must respect the rule of law, and we must always respect the American people's safety first. ____________________
