President Scales Back Refugee Influx
President Trump recently announced that his administration will be cutting the number of refugees from 110,000 a year under Obama to 45,000 for 2018. While I believe this number is still too large, the President has taken a very positive step forward by reducing the previous administration's expansion of the UN-led refugee resettlement program. Additionally, the President is implementing stronger refugee screening measures in order to stop terrorists from infiltrating our refugee program from hotspots of terrorism across the Middle East. I commend the President for these actions as one of the first bills I introduced in Congress was legislation to immediately pause the refugee program from terror prone regions pending more stringent vetting procedures.
Babin: It's Time We Reduce Taxes for Hardworking Americans and Businesses
President Trump and Republicans in Congress recently unveiled a unified framework on tax relief and simplifying our broken tax code. Having grown to over 70,000 pages long, most Americans agree that the current tax code is too costly, complex and burdensome. This framework provides a unified path forward that will lead to bigger paychecks for middle class Americans, along with more jobs and greater economic freedom.
A few important highlights from the framework include: 
✔ Enabling taxpayers to file taxes on a postcard

✔ Closing loopholes and lowering tax rates

✔ Doubling the standard deduction so families keep more of their paychecks

✔ Consolidating seven tax brackets to three

✔ Increasing the child tax credit and implementing the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2017
