MAJOR RULING just moments ago from the Senate Parliamentarian. The parliamentarian is the official advisor who interprets the Standing Rules of the Senate, and guides that body on the appropriate procedures for carrying out its work. (The House of Representatives also has a parliamentarian.)
Just a little while ago, the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that Democrats could NOT include… Read more »
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… Read more »
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 »
A man named Anming Hu was arrested and is to face trial for wire fraud and lying to U.S. authorities. He was a scientist at the Univ. of Tennessee, participating in federally funded research on nanotechnologies.
The problem, however, is that he was also privately running a similar operation over in China. He's accused of hiding this inconvenient fact from U.S. authorities. All this… 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 »
