Rep. Mike Lawler on Biden Administration's Vetting Failures and Border Security

National Guard Shooting Suspect and Vetting Concerns

• ⚠️ A recent shooting incident involving a National Guard member has raised serious questions about the vetting process for individuals entering the country.
• ❓ The effectiveness of the Biden administration's vetting procedures, particularly for those arriving from Afghanistan and at the southern border, is under scrutiny.

Criticism of Biden Administration's Immigration Policies

• 📉 Congressman Lawler criticizes the Biden administration for creating a crisis through a "disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan" and a "disaster at our southern border."
• 🚫 Over 10-12 million migrants are stated to have entered the country, many allegedly without comprehensive vetting, leading to security concerns.
• 🎯 The administration is accused of releasing individuals from "all around the globe into the U.S."

Comparison to Trump Administration's Approach

• 📈 The Trump administration is credited with attempting to "clean up our immigration system" and "effectively secured the border."
• 🔄 There is a call to "re-vet" all individuals, including green card holders, to ensure national security.

Need for Resources and Congressional Action

• 💰 Congress has increased funding for Border Patrol, immigration officials, and USCIS through the Working Families Tax Cut Act.
• 🤝 Lawler states that Congress must provide additional resources and manpower if the administration requires them to address the crisis and ensure community safety.
• 🚨 The goal is to prevent future incidents like the National Guard shooting and protect national security.
