Spring 2022 Update from Congressman Palmer

Dear Friends,

People often ask me what I think the greatest issue of Joe Biden's presidency has been so far. I tell them it comes down to one word -- security. From his first day in office, our national security has been in peril. His initial refusion to place tough sanctions on Russia emboldened Vladimir Putin to invade the Ukraine. Biden also shut down domestic energy production, which made us dependent on Russia and other regimes for oil. Meanwhile, our southern border has been flooded with illegal crossings, drug trafficking, and human smugglers, because the President is apparently delivering on his reckless campaign promises to ignore immigration enforcement. And now he’s preparing to lift Title 42, a measure which allows for deportation on health risk grounds. After just fourteen months in office the Biden Administration almost two million have crossed our southern border illegally from dozens of countries from all over the world and include known or suspected terrorists which puts the security of our cities and towns at risk.

At a local security level, many cities are suffering due to rising crime, homelessness, and drug addiction problems. In some places, parents are facing hostility from their children's own school boards and principals, being called "terrorists" for caring about what their children are being taught. Some people can't even be sure that they'll be able to afford both food and gas next month. President Biden's terrible policies have taken away even that most basic security for many people.

We essentially have no security under this Administration.

My Republican colleagues and I want to give that security back.
