ICYMI: Stefanik: "Joe Biden's Weakness Has Emboldened Our Adversaries Abroad And Put American Lives At Risk"

Floor Speech

Date: Feb. 6, 2024
Location: Washington,DC

"Good morning. This week, House Republicans continue to lead on key issues facing Americans at home and threats facing our troops and allies abroad.

Unlike Joe Biden, House Republicans stand with Israel, and we will vote on the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act: a standalone 17.6 billion-dollar package which will provide lifesaving funding and resources to stand with Israel and protect American soldiers who have been under attack from Iranian-backed proxies. Under Joe Biden, over one hundred and fifty attacks have been carried out against American soldiers by Iranian terrorists and their supporters. Joe Biden's weakness has emboldened our adversaries abroad and put American lives at risk. Providing funding for our troops and ensuring Israel has the resources to defend itself from the onslaught of unprovoked terrorist backed attacks is not political or partisan. It is a moral imperative.

Here at home, Joe Biden's weakness and open border policies have left our borders wide open. Millions of illegal immigrants have invaded our country due to Joe Biden's open border, executive actions. And while Joe Biden and Extreme Democrats push non-starter legislation that will only worsen the crisis at our border, House Republicans have already passed H.R. 2, the strongest border package ever, and this week, we will vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his willful and systemic refusal to enforce our immigration laws and breach of public trust."
