- Rep. Babin Shares His Personal Experience -

It was with great excitement that I attended the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Congratulations to President Trump, Vice President Pence and most importantly the American people on this remarkable achievement. I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead and what we can accomplish for the people of this great country. It was truly an honor to have a front row seat to history on this special day and I am looking forward to getting to work with our new President and his team to make America a stronger and more prosperous nation.

Rep. Babin Joins Tomi Lahren to Discuss His Criminal Alien Deportation Enforcement Act
|
I joined Tomi Lahren on TheBlaze TV via skype last week to discuss my Criminal Alien Deportation Enforcement Act (H.R. 82), which will put a stop to this revolving door that is allowing dangerous criminals who should be deported back onto our streets. Just last week, I met with some of the victims of these heinous crimes. It is heart-wrenching. There is no reason that this common-sense bill should not be passed and signed into law under President Trump. It is time we start putting the safety of our citizens first.

Rep. Babin Op-Ed in LifeZette: Ending the Trojan Horse Refugee Threat
- Swift action required to prevent terrorists from exploiting weak migrant policies - |
America’s United Nations-run refugee resettlement program poses a direct threat to the safety and security of the American people. ISIS has already successfully infiltrated the refugee flow into Europe and has pledged to do the same in America. To protect Americans and put their safety first, we must put a stop to this “Trojan Horse” threat. That is why, on the first day of the 115th Congress, I reintroduced legislation (H.R. 80) that would immediately suspend America’s participation in this flawed refugee program. We must address this gaping hole in our national security as America's enemies and their tactics have evolved. It is time that our refugee policies reflect these realities and put the interests of American citizens first. To read my full editorial, click here.
