Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) responded to President Biden's State of the Union address by criticizing the administration's policies, stating that the State of the Union "is in danger."

“In just three years, Biden has opened our borders and allowed over 8 million migrants to enter our nation illegally,” said Rep. Palmer. “Among those are 361 individuals apprehended at our border who are on a terrorist watchlist. There are thousands of migrants here illegally who have serious criminal backgrounds."

Palmer emphasized the impact of these policies on national security and public safety, highlighting statistics on criminal convictions and deaths related to noncitizens.

Regarding economic issues, Palmer pointed out, “Biden and the Democrats have pushed legislation and regulations that have added trillions of dollars to our national debt, raised energy cost and the cost of housing and essential household expenses."

He further added, “The cost of groceries is up over 21% because of Biden and his Democratic coconspirators in the House and Senate."

Palmer concluded by addressing President Biden directly, stating, “No, Mr. President, the American people know the state of the union is not strong. It is in danger because of the policies of your administration and the Democrats in Congress.”
