Pfluger (R-TX-11) 03/07/2022: GETTR Post – “President Biden's border crisis continues to grow as U.S. Border Patrol encounters migrants from countries which the U.S. Department of State assesses as having a high threat of terrorism – including Iraq and Syria. Yet the CBP website does not publish numbers from all countries of concern. Why are these numbers being hidden?

Iran

Bacon (R-NE-2) 03/07/2022: Tweet – “The same Putin regime conducting an unprovoked invasion in Ukraine is negotiating an Iran nuclear deal on our behalf.

Balderson (R-OH-12) 03/08/2022: Tweet – “Banning energy from 1 authoritarian regime (Russia) and replacing it with 2 more (Iran and Venezuela) will not strengthen American energy security. ❌🇷🇺 ❌🇻🇪 ❌🇮🇷 ✅🇺🇸 It's time to restore U.S. #EnergyIndependence and end our reliance on bad actors! #BuyAmerican”

Barrasso (R-WY) 03/08/2022: Twitter thread – “.@POTUS is finally doing what members of Congress have been pushing for all along. His decision to ban Russian oil is a much-needed step to kill Putin's cash cow. We should not replace Russian oil with oil from dictators in Iran and Venezuela. Barrasso: It's Time for President Biden to Take the Shackles Off American Energy... | energy.senate.gov Republicans have been demanding the administration take the shackles off American energy producers since President Biden took office.

Bost (R-IL-12) 03/08/2022: Tweet – “Gas prices are the highest they've been since 2008. This problem isn't going to be resolved by implementing Green New Deal energy policies or negotiating oil deals with rogue regimes like Iran and Venezuela. More from @WSILNews ↓ Link to video”

Braun (R-IN) 03/08/2022: Tweet – “I'm glad @POTUS has finally come around to shutting down Russian imports, but gas prices were going up before this invasion because Biden admin strangled American energy.

Burchett (R-TN-2) 03/08/2022: Tweet – “Since we are banning Russian oil we should also ban Iranian and Venezuelan oil as well. Substituting 1 dictator for another is not progress @POTUS”

Cornyn (R-TX) 03/07/2022: Retweet of @SenateForeign – “It's dangerously naïve for the Biden Admin to turn to autocratic despots in #Venezuela and #Iran as we seek to cut off #Putin's oil money.

Congress may not give him a choice.... | politico.com If we seek to replace Russian oil by buying more oil from Venezuela and Iran, that would be the height of insanity.

Greene (R-GA-14) 03/07/2022: Twitter thread – “1. Getting to the negotiating table is wise with a position of strength. The U.S. must rapidly increase drilling to a maximum level and drive the cost of oil as low as possible. When oil is not as valuable/needed, the balance of power will shift, affecting more than Russia. 2. The Biden Admins current trajectory, driving American energy to the Green New Deal and chosen dependency on foreign oil & batteries, is foolish and irresponsible. Our government has made us dependent on China, and China has opened their arms to Russia, Iran, & Venezuela. 3. While innocent people are being murdered in Putin's war on Ukraine, the U.S. response is critical. The world is on the brink of two competing global currency systems, the Dollar and the Yuen. Once the switch is made, things are not easily undone & it could make things worse. 4. As China has been increasingly buying Iranian and Venezuelan oil without care of sanctions, it's obvious they will continue to partner with sanctioned countries and grow their economic power. Xi has already made a big oil and gas deal with Putin. Why stop now? 5. Foolish America Last and China First policies relying on China for our manufacturing and supplies has led us to this weakened position. It's hard to beat the bully on the playground when you have to turn around and buy lunch from them. Winning starts by making our own lunch. 6. Russia, Iran, Venezuela and more being able to boldly move under the protection of China should not be overlooked. America can make a correction course to rebuild American strength & independence now, before it's too late. Start by drilling, & it will save lives.”

Griffith (R-VA-9) 03/07/2022: Tweet – “As the national average gas price tops $4 per gallon, where is the Biden Administration looking to meet our energy demands? Iran and Venezuela. Instead of begging our enemies for help, President Biden should unbind domestic energy production.”

Higgins (R-LA-3) 03/08/2022: Twitter thread – “Every purchase of Russian energy product provides financial support for Putin's barbaric war on Ukraine. Banning Russian oil and gas imports is obviously the right thing to do, and Biden must couple this glaringly clear decision with expanded U.S. oil and gas production. Link to quoted tweetBREAKING: Biden to ban Russian energy imports to hold Putin 'accountable' for Ukraine invasion (Biden to announce ban on US imports of Russian oil... | foxbusiness.com) The President should have the courage to stand against the Democrats' green new deal left and step away from his administration's war on the American oil and gas industry. We must reestablish American energy independence, American energy dominance. Looking to Iran and Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to fill American energy needs is criminally wrong. American Patriots everywhere are saying to hell with Iran, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia, do business with Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma.
