Visas are Weapons in the Hands of Terrorists
To terrorists, travel documents are weapons. Family-based immigration visas, fiancé visas, and other... A weak national defense is more often an invitation to confrontation than an overture of peace. Providing for U.S. national security and protecting our men and women in uniform will continue to be my number one priority in Congress -- because a strong defense is a strong America. Chairman of the House Armed Services Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee. As Chairman, I work to provide our military with the cutting-edge capabilities they need to defeat any adversaries and protect American citizens and interests. Strengthen national security. Our national defense is not a faucet that can be turned off and on. We must be rebuilding our military, resourcing our servicemembers, and creating long-term innovative strategies for countering any threats to U.S. national security. Pay our troops. Washington needs to get its fiscal house in order, but we can’t balance the budget on the backs of our troops. That’s why I support pay raises for our servicemembers and am fighting to protect their compensation and benefits. I’ve introduced legislation to protect our military members, DOD civilians, and their families in the case of any future government shutdowns (Read H.R. 3616). Support military families. The heroes behind our heroes sacrifice so much. The least we can do is:
Protect veterans. They didn’t wait to answer the call of duty; they shouldn’t have to wait for timely medical care. I’m working to cut down on the claims backlog, hold the VA responsible, and ensure our heroes get the support and care they deserve. Read about my work.
