Border Security

For those who missed my live telephone town hall last week, you can catch a full replay using the link below. We covered a wide variety of topics, including discussions on the recent work the DOGE is doing and our nation's massive debt problem. Lots of great caller questions as well! Read more »

Today, the House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, which I gladly supported, to permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs. Schedule I drugs are substances with high potential for abuse and are NOT accepted for medical use. If this bill gets signed into law, it will protect American citizens, specifically women and children, against the very real threat posed by… Read more »

Under the failed Biden-Harris Administration we saw the worst illegal immigrant border crossings in American history. During the height of the border crisis, we saw +11,000 crossings a day, with 4,000 coming from the Del Rio sector alone. Even in the final days of the last administration, there was still close to 1,400 crossings PER DAY.  Now, within the first two weeks of President… Read more »

Yesterday, Joe Biden announced an executive order posturing that he cares about border security. In my opinion, this executive order (EO) is an absolute INSULT to the American people.  Under this executive order, the Biden administration claims that it would only "consider" shutting down the US-Mexico border once illegal crossings hit 2,500 per day. That means that under this… Read more »

Well, it took a subpoena and a lengthy fight, but House Republicans have finally uncovered a list of all the U.S. cities to which the Biden administration has been quietly flying HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of illegal immigrants. Everyone knew this was taking place. But the documents finally released under a subpoena from the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) – under the leadership of… Read more »

We're ignoring the main issue that the American people have told us they face: keep our own BORDER SECURE. I cannot sit back and let something that does not protect the security of this country go to the floor. Read more »

Do not fall for this. President Biden is finally (I mean, FINALLY) making a trip to the southern border…but for what? To see the absolute uncontrolled chaos he’s created, 8+ million illegal immigrants later? This is an issue that should infuriate every single American. This is not a party issue, this is about the safety and security of our fellow Americans. On Biden's first day in office… Read more »

It’s all a calculated game to Democrats. Leaks from the White House indicate Biden is now (finally) considering executive orders to help slow the massive number of illegal migrants flowing across our southern border. This, after lying for weeks claiming he needed additional legislation from Congress to secure the border. (I covered this in a previous post.) That man doesn’t need… Read more »

Two items making the news this Monday morning from D.C. First is this meaningless “immigration deal” that a handful of Senators reached over the weekend. This nonsense is DEAD ON ARRIVAL over in the House. This is not a serious effort by the Senate, but instead is a messaging bill designed to allow liberals the ability to claim they tried to solve the border crisis. (A crisis their… Read more »

I’m heading back to D.C. this morning. Two quick notes about the utter chaos along our southern border. First, you may have heard news about a so-called deal on immigration being ironed out in the Senate. According to CNN, “Under the proposed deal, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrants crossing… Read more »
