Calling on Joe Biden to Address His Border Crisis
|
I joined my Texas colleagues earlier this week to describe what we saw while traveling along the southern border last month. The alarming situations that we all witnessed have only gotten worse due to the inaction by this administration.
Watch my remarks by clicking the link below!
|
| Fighting for Answers |
I’ve seen firsthand health and safety protocols being utterly abandoned at our overflowing migrant holding facilities along the southern border.
This administration can pretend a crisis doesn’t exist, but I'm forcing them to give YOU answers on their plan to solve it.
See my and Congressman Jodey Arrington’s (TX-19) letter below.
|
| Expanding the Supreme Court Will Destroy It |
I agree Joe Biden! This is a bonehead idea. Expanding the Supreme Court will destroy it.
But per the usual, if the Democrats can’t win, they cheat. Don’t sleep on this issue, America!
|
| When Will This Administration Do Something? |
Our migrant holding facilities are totally overwhelmed, our treasury is being squandered, and American and migrant lives are at stake.
How many more children need to be tossed over a 14-foot border wall before this administration does something?
|
| Cartels Are Now Recruiting America's Youth |
Cartels are now recruiting America’s youth to do their illegal bidding.
This may be the land of the free – but once you owe the cartels, you’ll never be free again.
Biden must secure the border NOW!
|
| This Is About Power |
Our founders knew the nation’s capital should be on neutral ground.
Instead of debating rational solutions like Congressman Jody Hice’s (GA-10), Democrats chose the unconstitutional route because they know it ends with more liberal seats in the U.S. Senate.
This is about power for them.
|
| Words Are Not the Crisis |
Pathetic. This administration won’t stop until we’re borderless, bankrupt, and living in chaos.
Trust me – words aren’t the crisis. The REAL crisis is that the Democrats are helping cartels to enslave, abuse, assault, and kill these migrants, including children.
|
| Supporting the Maximum Pressure Act |
Trump understood the need to keep Iran under control and non-nuclear – Biden must also.
I was proud to stand with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and many of my colleagues on Wednesday in support of the Maximum Pressure Act, which will work to sanction and disempower this volatile regime and keep us safe.
|
| Speaker Pelosi Must Hold Her Caucus Accountable |
Outrageous and dangerous demagoguery. This week, Rep. Waters did the very thing she voted to impeach Trump for.
America’s system of justice is not determined by Waters’ personal beliefs.
Pelosi must address the hypocrisy of her own caucus and hold her accountable!
|
| The Woke Left Continues to Abandon Law Enforcement |
You'd think that the mayor of a city where 20-plus people were shot last weekend – one death being a 7-year-old girl – would support their law enforcement more.
Unfortunately, common sense and backing the blue isn't on the woke Left's agenda.
|
| What an Absolute Sham |
The hypocritical Left once again waves the “for me but not for thee” flag.
They scream to defund the police – putting YOU at risk – while paying for their own private security.
What an absolute sham.
|
| This Is Not How Governing Should Work |
Calling Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure bill a “Trojan horse” isn’t an exaggeration.
Democrats are listing every imaginable item on the liberal agenda as “infrastructure” and forcing YOU to pay for it. This is not how governing should work!

| A Momentous Day |
Friday was an early morning at NASA's Kennedy Space Center but well worth it as NASA's SpaceX Crew-2 astronauts successfully launched to the International Space Station!
Congratulations to all who contributed to such a momentous day – it was truly a sight to behold.
Praying for a safe and fruitful mission!
|
| What a Joke |
How can anyone take the Democrats seriously anymore?
|
| Biden's Blatant Overreach Will Not Be Tolerated |
Biden is attempting to unconstitutionally ban states from implementing their own tax cuts through 2024.
I’m urging him to immediately suspend this section of his “American Rescue Plan.”
This unlawful and blatant overreach will not be tolerated!
|
| Texas Sues Biden for Ignoring COVID-19 Rules at the Southern Border |
We know this administration’s ignoring common-sense health policies and releasing COVID-19 positive illegal aliens into neighborhoods across the country.
Even worse, Texas taxpayers are having to pay because of the president’s negligence.
I support this lawsuit all the way.
|
| Reacting to the Chauvin Trial Verdict |
I joined Newsmax TV to react to Tuesday's outcome of the Chauvin trial.
|
| Recognizing San Jacinto Day |
Wednesday marked 185 years since the Battle of San Jacinto where in just 18 minutes the Texian Army soundly defeated the Mexican Army. This decisive victory led to Santa Anna's swift surrender to General Sam Houston – securing Texas’ independence and changing the course of history forever.
As a proud Texan, former member of the Texas Historical Commission, and lifelong student of history, I am honored to be the Member of Congress who represents the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site.

| Congratulating a TX-36 Native |
Congratulations to Barbers Hill High School and University of Texas at Austin alumna, Charli Collier, for being the first overall pick of the WNBA Draft!
Throughout her career, Charli has excelled at every level and received numerous awards and recognitions, including being named a second team AP All-American. Despite the loss of her father and many other challenges, Charli graduated from UT in just three years!
I know many in Southeast Texas join me in wishing this remarkable young lady a successful career in the WNBA!
