WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) released the following statement today after voting on the supplemental funding bill which includes financial aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan as well as provisions aimed at bolstering border security.
“The United States has a vested interest in Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan defending their borders, but Democrats and the Biden administration disregard the lawless national security risk at our own. In this year alone, the equivalent of more than three North Dakotas has overrun our southern border. Cartels, terrorists, and adversaries are breaching the gaps, and the American people are feeling the pain. Over 100,000 died from fentanyl overdoses during the last year. This threat demands action. We do not need vague promises and increased funding to help process illegal immigrants faster, but real policy changes and enforcement mechanisms focused on Americans’ security. This should not be so hard.”
