Congressman Klein on Government Funding and China Threats

In a recent interview, Virginia Congressman Ben Klein highlighted the pressing need for government continuity while addressing the troubling issue of election integrity in light of immigration policies. He emphasized support for a continuing resolution (CR) to prevent a government shutdown, stressing the importance of ensuring that only citizens can register to vote. Klein’s commentary came as House discussions center around the duration of the CR, amidst concerns that Democrats may not support critical legislation, including those aimed at addressing illegal immigration that affects American families. Furthermore, Congressman Klein noted the presence of a Chinese military-operated machine in a top-secret government lab, showcasing a potential security threat from China. He mentioned his efforts to classify the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a Chinese entity of concern and to restrict taxpayer-funded grants to CCP-affiliated organizations. This reflects broader worries about foreign influence and security in America's biotech and defense sectors. The testimony from families of victims harmed by illegal migration further underscores the emotional weight of these issues, which are resonating strongly with constituents ahead of the upcoming elections. Klein’s remarks emphasize the urgent need for legislative action to protect American citizens from both international threats and domestic policy failures.
