Great news coming out of the Supreme Court today. ...
With attacks occurring around the world in greater frequency, and our enemies making it clear they want to bring jihad into the US, this is a much needed win for common sense. ...
Government surveillance activities under the FISA Amendments Act have violated Americans’ constitutionally protected rights. The House Freedom Caucus opposes any permanent reauthorization of the Act that does not include substantial reforms to the government’s collection and use of Americans’ data. We need to ensure that surveillance under Section 702 is permitted only to counter national security threats -- not used as a back door by the government for fishing expeditions. ...
Good news here on Trump administration efforts to crack down on dangerous sanctuary city policies that needlessly put American lives at risk. And, in Congress, the House plans to vote next week on a couple of bills that target illegal immigration to help carry out President Trump's agenda of enforcing federal immigration laws.
The first bill, "Kate's Law", is named after Kate Steinle, the young woman murdered by an illegal immigrant in San Fransisco who had been previously deported five times and convicted of multiple felonies. The bill enhances penalties for deported felons who return to the U.S.
The second bill, "No Sanctuary for Criminals Act" also contains Sarah and Grant’s Law, which ensures unlawful immigrants convicted of drunk driving or arrested for other dangerous crimes are detained during their removal proceedings. Sarah Root had just graduated from college, and was killed by an illegal immigrant driving drunk who was subsequently released from custody. He is still on the loose. Grant Ronnebeck was murdered at a convenience store by a convicted felon who was free on bond while facing deportation.
As you may recall, Paul Ryan promised that he would push all five Goodlatte immigration bills to the House floor as one of the promises he made upon becoming speaker. These bills take concrete action on our pledge to regain control of our immigration system with stronger interior enforcement, and I look forward to voting yes on both of them. ...
"This is not a political issue. I'm a proud, proud progressive. All we're talking about is basic arithmetic. The arithmetic doesn't work." -- Bernie Sanders supporter/restaurateur on her opposition to potential minimum wage hike to $15 an hour. ...
Here's some info about a bill I'm working on with Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) that will help our veterans have the capital they need to succeed as small business owners/entrepreneurs when they return to civilian life. ...
Democrat Principles at work: After decades of borrowing and spending like there's no tomorrow, the party's over for Illinois and Puerto Rico. No wonder Barack and Michelle Obama chose not to move back to Chicago when their term was up. And that's how it goes. The well-connected are able to escape the financial meltdown that inevitably comes when government runs out of other people's money -- the average taxpayer is left to bear the burden. ...
Congrats to Karen Handel on a great win, and I look forward to having her on the team as we work together on healthcare, tax cuts, and security, and getting this economy rolling again! ...
