One Missed Opportunity After Another

| Posted in Blog

Did any of you watch the State of the Union earlier tonight? It was a spin job like no other. Not to beat a dead horse, but inflation is at a 40 year high under Biden's watch. His policies have enabled & encouraged more than 2 million people to illegally cross our border in the last year. Violent crime is rising. We're now $30 trillion in national debt, while he wants trillions more…

Busses, Trains, Event Taxis

| Posted in Blog

On the return flight from my most recent trip to the southern border, over half the passengers were escorted onto the plane while holding cardboard signs that read, “I don’t speak English.” Do you want to guess what that was all about? Busses, trains, even taxis have been used to relocate illegal immigrants away from the southern border. So recent news that the Biden Administration has…

Update on "Remain in Mexico" Asylum Policy

| Posted in Blog

NEW: there was a big milestone today in the fight against Biden’s self-inflicted immigration crisis. Late this morning, his administration announced that an “agreement had been reached” with the Mexican government that would keep asylum seekers in that country until their cases for asylum could be heard in U.S. immigration court. Good. However, don’t think today’s announcement…

Add One More No Vote to My Growing Tally

| Posted in Blog

There was a lady sitting towards the back of the room at my town hall a couple months ago in York County. She appeared rather upset over the number of bills I’d voted against in Congress… ever since Democrats took control of the House. In fact, she seemed to know the exact number! You know, as if my purpose in Congress should be to rubber stamp the Democrats’ socialist agenda. Clearly to…

You Shouldn’t Be Surprised at This

| Posted in Blog

$450,000 – this is how much the Biden Administration wants to pay some noncitizens from other countries… who broke our immigration laws and now are suing us – the American taxpayers – over the way they were treated in the process. The Wall Street Journal broke this news last week. I’d say it’s unbelievable, but it’s not. This is a president who stopped construction of our border wall,…

Rep. Norman Introduces Bill Establishing New Ports of Entry for Processing Migrants

| Posted in Blog

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) introduced new legislation in the House of Representatives to help address the massive surge of immigrants along our southern border.   The Stop the SURGE Act, or Stop the Surge of Unsafe Rio Grande Encampments Act, would relocate illegal immigrants from South Texas to the following newly established ports of entry for…

The Highest Levels Ever Recorded

| Posted in Blog

Wow. I can’t even express enough outrage over this. Arrests along our southern border have now reached the “highest levels ever recorded.” That’s according to unpublished Border Patrol data obtained by the Washington Post. Let’s unpack this information… Being arrested and being detained by our Border Patrol are generally two different things. Illegal immigrants are typically detained…

Let's Talk Details

Washington Storm

Let’s talk details. This is a long post, I know, but it’s important for everyone to understand just how bad the Democrats’ massive tax & spend package is going to be. Remember, this bill isn’t even finalized yet. I’ve linked to their initial version below. As of now, this is a 2,465-page monster that will expand cradle-to-grave government dependence, make inflation worse, and put our…

It's Just Horrible

Border Crisis Del Rio

It is HORRIBLE what President Biden has enabled to occur along our southern border. His policy decisions were deliberate and (I would argue) by design. He changed Trump's asylum policies, stopped new construction of the wall, and a host of other measures he deliberately took that encouraged, not discouraged, the near-record surge on our border. For without the surge... without the…

Secure the Border, President Biden!

| Posted in Blog

Every minute, of every hour, of every day last month, our Border Patrol encountered an average of 4.6 people along our southern border. 208,887 total encounters in August, according to data released just a couple hours ago. Massive numbers, once again. Think about that. It’s more than one encounter by our Border Patrol every 15 SECONDS. And it doesn’t even account for those who make it…
