Dear [salutation],
First and foremost, thanks to the thousands of Idahoans who joined me earlier this week for a live telephone town hall! I appreciated many of you taking the time. It bears repeating: these telephone town halls are helpful for me - I get to hear directly from YOU and listen to your concerns.
As I'm sure many of you have seen the news, it was a busy week back in DC. I commend President Trump for taking decisive action against a regime responsible for decades of terror. Make no mistake, as the world's number one sponsor of terror, Iran is no friend to the United States or our allies.
This week, the House passed a resolution reaffirming that Iran remains the largest state sponsor of terrorism. Iran's "Death to America" regime and its terrorist proxies have killed more Americans than any other terrorist regime. Let me reiterate this point: under the Biden-Harris administration, the southern border was wide open. We KNOW that terrorists are in this country. More than 350 individuals on the terrorist watch list crossed the border under the previous administration. We have no idea where all of these individuals are, nor do we know where the millions of illegal aliens are in this country that crossed the border during the same timeframe. My question for you is: Do you think it's really that smart to withhold DHS funding, which protects and serves the American people? I sure don't.
