It's been an exhausting week, but well worth it. We just wrapped up a series of in-person town halls all over the district, and I want to thank the hundreds of people who showed up. It was great to see and hear from so many folks!
Also a special thanks to Rep. William Timmons who joined me in Spartanburg, the dozens of law enforcement officers who kept us all safe, and all the venues… Read more »
I'll be hosting seven (7) live, in-person town halls next week all throughout the congressional district. If you're interested in a legislative update from Congress and an opportunity to ask questions, this is your chance! Here's a link to my events page with details.
We have a wide range of starting times, between noon and 5:30 PM, and a wide variety of venues. If you can't make it to… Read more »

These are Border Patrol encounters of illegal immigrants by month. (An “encounter” is either an apprehension or an immediate expulsion.)
Did you read how the Secretary of Homeland Security recently described… Read more »
Check out this Wall Street Journal sentence in an article published Saturday:
“Migrant families continue to be released with instructions to check in with immigration authorities, rather than being given court dates, because border agents are too busy to issue the proper paperwork.”
That’s unreal.
Everyone knew there’d be a massive surge of illegal immigrants after President Biden… Read more »
Confirmed by a Friday afternoon data dump: our Border Patrol has now apprehended more than ONE MILLION illegal immigrants so far this year.
That’s more in the first six months of 2021 than any **full year** since 2005. And that number doesn’t even account for the countless who made it though without being apprehended. June’s data also revealed 15,000 apprehensions of unaccompanied… Read more »
At the airport now, heading to join President Trump at the southern border.
Within just six months of his successor taking office, apprehensions of illegal immigrants have now SOARED to 20-year highs. This will be my third trip to inspect conditions along the southern border and as I’ve said before, this is not gross incompetence on the part of President Biden.… Read more »
It’s a calculated lie when President Biden tells you his border crisis was inherited from President Trump. By calculated, I mean he knows the media WILL NEVER hold him to account on this issue. So he can bank on more people being persuaded by a false narrative rather than the actual facts:
◾ Trump didn’t campaign on a relaxed approach to border security. Trump didn’t stop building his… Read more »
The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives. His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.)
There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »
Here’s something to ponder: President Biden obviously didn’t campaign on creating a massive surge of illegal immigrants. But what if he had? What if Candidate Joe Biden had promised the American people total chaos along the southern border, a demoralized Border Patrol, thousands of unaccompanied children, and a renewed humanitarian crisis?
➡️ How would he have fulfilled that sinister yet… Read more »
I flew back to D.C. yesterday after getting a firsthand look at the new crisis along our southern border. It’s bad. In fact, it’s incomprehensible.
We met with border patrol agents who are now overworked, overwhelmed, and stretched dangerously thin. On top of patrolling hundreds of miles of the border, they’re also doubling as daycare workers for record numbers of… Read more »
