President Trump's Executive Orders

 

Since being sworn into office on Monday, President Trump has signed numerous executive orders aimed at getting our country back on track. These actions mark the beginning of a much-needed change in Washington, D.C., and the federal government.


Four key executive orders that I want to highlight are:

  1. Securing the Border
  2. Ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policies
  3. Overturning the Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate
  4. Withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO)

First, President Trump’s executive order to secure the border will prioritize completing the border wall system, enforcing immigration laws, and reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait outside the United States while their cases are processed. These measures aim to reduce illegal immigration, combat cartel activity, and protect both American citizens and migrants from dangerous conditions at the border. This decisive action reaffirms the Trump administration’s commitment to border security and the rule of law.


Second, I applaud President Trump for swiftly moving to end divisive DEI policies within the federal government. DEI often excludes individuals based on factors unrelated to their character or qualifications. By restoring a merit-based system, this executive order promotes a fair and level playing field in government operations and hiring practices.


Third, President Trump’s executive order to overturn the EV Mandate is a step toward protecting consumer choice and affordability. EVs are far more expensive than gas-powered cars, and the mandate unfairly forced consumers toward options they may not want or be able to afford. By rescinding this policy, President Trump is defending Americans’ ability to choose the vehicles that work for them while emphasizing the importance of market-based solutions over politically motivated regulations.


Finally, President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the WHO is a step toward ensuring that American interests are prioritized on the global stage. The WHO has repeatedly failed to act in the best interests of the United States and its allies, and pausing funding sends a strong message about accountability and reform in international organizations.

 
 

Restoring Immigration Enforcement

 

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement held a hearing titled "Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America." The discussion focused on the severe border crisis created by the Biden-Harris Administration's policies, which allowed approximately 8 million illegal aliens to enter the United States, including nearly 6 million released into the interior and over 1.9 million known “gotaways". These numbers highlight the administration's dismantling of effective immigration enforcement measures, such as the termination of the border wall construction and the misuse of parole authority to release individuals in masses into the country.


During my questioning, I focused on the misuse of the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." While this amendment was originally designed to grant citizenship to formerly enslaved individuals and their descendants, it has since been exploited by those entering the United States illegally to give birth to children who automatically gain citizenship. This practice, often referred to as “birth tourism”, has created a loophole that undermines the integrity of our immigration system. Non-citizens use this provision to establish a foothold in the country, benefiting from the privileges of citizenship for their children while bypassing lawful immigration channels.


This abuse of the 14th Amendment not only challenges the intent behind the amendment but also places additional strain on American taxpayers and public resources. Hospitals, schools, and social service programs often bear the financial burden of this exploitation, leaving hardworking Americans to cover the costs. Reforming this interpretation of the 14th Amendment is critical to restoring fairness to our immigration system and ensuring that citizenship remains a privilege earned through legal and transparent processes. Addressing this loophole is essential to prevent further misuse of our Constitution and to protect the sovereignty of our nation.

My Committee Assignments for the 119th Congress

 

I am excited to share that in the 119th Congress, I will continue to serve on the House Committee on the Budget, the Committee on Education and Workforce, and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Additionally, this Congress I will serve on the House Committee on the Judiciary.   


I was also named Chairman of the Oversight Committee's Subcommittee on Healthcare and Financial Services. As Chairman, I will have oversight jurisdiction over federal health care policy, food and drug safety, federal entitlement programs, monetary policy, banking, infrastructure, and tax policy. 


It is my privilege and honor to continue serving the people of Wisconsin’s Sixth District on four prominent committees in the House of Representatives. I have served on three out of these four committees in the past and look forward to continuing to bring Wisconsin common-sense to the table. 


In addition to these committee assignments, I was one of just 23 Members to be appointed as a regional representative to the Republican Policy Committee, I will serve on the House Majority Whip team, as a member of the DOGE Caucus, and as a member of the Steering Committee for the Republican Study Committee, whose full roster contains upwards of 170 members. 


I’m ready to get to work in the 119th Congress to hold government agencies and officials accountable, promote all forms of higher education and technical training, and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.
