[Your campaign brief for October 4, 2024]([link removed])
John-
This week, I highlighted the failures at our southern border created by Border Czar Kamala Harris (yes, she was the Border Czar no matter what the media says otherwise) in light of her ridiculous trip to the U.S.-Mexico Border. I also discussed the proper response from Israel in the aftermath of another missile barrage on Israeli territory by Iran.
Thank you to everyone who responded with a contribution to my message last week. We are hurtling toward November 5th, the most important election of our lifetimes. Do not lose sight of control of the House of Representatives in this election. While all the focus is on the presidential election, Republicans must maintain control of the House regardless of what happens at the top of the ticket. I’m going to be spending my time, energy, and resources helping Republicans in tough seats win re-election and help flip Democrat-held swing seats. When you donate to my campaign, that’s the mission you're helping. If you’re able to contribute, I would greatly appreciate it and you can do so here:

As always, thank you for your continued support. Now here’s your brief.
THE ARSONIST VISITS THE BURNED DOWN HOUSE
Out of all of Kamala Harris’s shameless attempts to rebrand herself, her messaging on border security is beyond the pale.
When Kamala Harris was running for president the last time, she promised to decriminalize illegal border crossings. She promised free health care for illegal immigrants. She supported dismantling ICE and “starting from scratch.”
As San Francisco’s DA, she boasted about being a “sanctuary city,” supporting policies that let criminals avoid ICE detainers. As a Senator, she pushed to strip $220M from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations—the unit responsible for deporting dangerous criminals. And as Border Czar, her policies created the chaos we see today.
This is who Kamala Harris is.
No half-baked last minute day trip to the border can change her 20 year history of supporting open borders and opposing enforcement of our immigration laws.
And if you have any questions as to whether Kamala Harris was actually the Border Czar, [watch this helpful video]([link removed]) for a reminder that she is only ditching the title now that it is politically inconvenient for her.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS AT OUR OTHER BORDER
[CLICK HERE TO WATCH]([link removed])
You have to watch this video to understand the magnitude of the Biden-Harris Administration’s failures on illegal immigration. We are effectively being squeezed by an illegal immigration crisis as a country, with both our northern and southern borders effectively wide open under this administration.
It’s not just the southern border that Harris screwed up. 19,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended last year at a SINGLE sector on the northern border. That’s higher than the previous 17 fiscal years - combined.
Why did it get so much worse this past year? Because Joe and Kamala left a glaring loophole in their executive order to ‘crack down’ on illegal immigration.
It’s almost like…wait for it…incentives matter and criminals will break laws if you let them. Joe Biden doesn’t understand these incentives as president, and neither will Kamala Harris. The crisis will only get worse with her in the Oval Office.
ISRAEL MUST DEFEND ITSELF
[CLICK HERE TO WATCH]([link removed])
As Israel systematically dismantles Iranian proxies in the Middle East, Iran is lashing out in an increasingly erratic manner. This week, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles on Israel in an escalatory attack. Thankfully, the missiles did little damage to Israel or Israeli citizens. But we cannot allow Iran to continue this aggression against our ally, and Israel cannot wait for another Iranian escalation. They must hit back hard and decisively.
Iran’s reckless aggression has sealed its fate. Now, Israel has the momentum, and they’re not going to let it slip away. When you’re dealing with a threat like this, you don’t let your enemy rebuild—you keep the pressure on.
Equally important, the United States must give Israel the latitude and support Israel needs to deter further aggression from Iran. Only Israel can decide the time, place, and manner of their counter attack, but they should seize the initiative against an increasingly weak Iran.
The Biden-Harris Administration is unfortunately but unsurprisingly showing weakness at precisely the wrong time elsewhere in the region, [vacating U.S. presence from longstanding bases in Iraq]([link removed]) in a misguided deal with the Iraqi government.
This sends the wrong message at the worst possible time—just when Iran's regional proxy terror network is collapsing. Their leadership is in disarray, and their capabilities are crumbling. Now Biden-Harris want to give them some breathing room by handing over Iraq to Iran.
In the Middle East, strength is respected, and any sign of weakness is exploited. This deal will be seen as a display of weakness because it gives the Iranians exactly what they’ve wanted since 2003: less American influence in Iraq, giving them the opportunity to make Iraq a fully-fledged proxy state.
Pulling back now would be a catastrophic mistake—a repeat of the Afghanistan debacle. It would be the unnecessary concession of hard fought gains, protected by a relatively small and cheap US footprint. And what would we gain from the deal? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Let’s not make the same mistake again.
