A nation without borders is not a nation. But ever since President Biden took office, he and the radical Left have worked to enact the most sweeping parts of their immigration policies, putting America on track to become the only nation in the world where anyone can freely cross the border. The consequences of their open-border agenda are devastating. In a matter of just 18 months, our southern border has descended into complete chaos. Regular migrant caravans are crossing the Rio Grande, guide... READ MORE
Since President Biden took the oath of office, Washington Democrats have embarked on a massive spending spree that has driven up government spending by an additional $9 trillion. That is more than the federal government spent in its first 195 years combined! That explosion of reckless spending is sabotaging America’s economy. Inflation is up 13.8% since Biden took office. Interest rates are skyrocketing. On Thursday, a government analysis confirmed that the economy shrunk in the 2nd quarter by 0... READ MORE
A recent poll found that a whopping 85 percent of Americans believe our nation is on the wrong track. It’s not at all surprising when you consider just how disastrous one-party Democrat rule of Washington has been for our nation. Beyond the record inflation, unaffordable gas, and empty grocery shelves, the radical Left has taken hold of their party – and they’re threatening violence to help force through the most destructive parts of their agenda. Since the draft of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s ... READ MORE
President Biden’s inflation crisis is sending our nation hurtling towards a recession, turning the American Dream into an unaffordable nightmare for hardworking Americans. Last week, families learned that inflation has gotten even worse and is now at a 40-year high of 9.1 percent in just the last 12 months, and a massive 13.8 percent since the start of Joe Biden’s presidency. This is completely unacceptable! Despite their efforts to mislead Americans, Washington Democrats’ out-of-control spendin... READ MORE
There’s no bigger challenge facing our nation right now than crippling, 40-year high inflation. These difficult economic times are forcing families to make tough financial decisions every day, whether it’s buying fewer groceries, putting less gas in the tank, or canceling family vacations. At the same time when millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Washington Democrats and President Biden are fueling the inflation crisis by spending hundreds of billions of dollars to advance th...

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court issued one of its most consequential and long-waited decisions when it announced its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That day – June 24, 2022 – marked a historic moment in the decades-long fight to protect the unborn. In Dobbs, the Court made clear that the Constitution gives state legislatures – not unelected judges – the freedom to answer the question of when life begins. The original Roe v. Wade decision represented a disastrous example ... READ MORE
In 2019 our nation hit an important milestone when we became energy independent for the first time in nearly 70 years. Thanks to the all-of-the-above energy policies put in place by President Trump and Republicans in Congress, we were able to keep energy costs affordable, boost job growth, and strengthen our nation’s energy security by reducing our reliance on foreign oil. Fast forward to today, and our nation is facing the biggest energy crisis in my lifetime because of President Biden and Wash... READ MORE
Over the last 16 months Americans have watched President Joe Biden stumble from crisis to crisis. This is the same Joe Biden who has billed himself as a leader who would govern with a steady hand. But ever since he took the helm, he has crashed our nation into iceberg after iceberg, leaving Americans treading water without a lifeboat in sight. His open border policies are helping Mexican cartels flood our communities with deadly drugs. Parents are driving hours to try and find baby formula becau... READ MORE
It has become an unfortunate theme in Washington - every time a crisis or tragedy hits this nation, Washington Democrats spring into action to exploit that situation to grow the power of government. In response to the current economic crisis of their own making, Democrats choose higher taxes; in response to the energy crisis, they choose new, less reliable energy sources over affordable energy coupled with new limits and regulations on oil and gas; in response to a border crisis, they choose ope...

Over the last 16 months, we have seen a steady deterioration in our border security as President Joe Biden’s disastrous policies have not only weakened our ability to stop illegal immigration but actually poured fuel on an already raging fire by encouraging millions of illegal immigrants to cross our border. As Republican Leader of the Budget Committee, I led a group of 12 members of Congress to the Rio Grande Valley to meet and tour with officials from Border Patrol, the state of Texas, and the...
