The Cost of the Biden Border Crisis

 

On Wednesday, the House Budget Committee held a hearing on the Cost of the Border Crisis. The purpose of this hearing was to explore the enormous cost of the Biden Administration's systematic dismantling of effective border enforcement strategies.


Our open borders are a serious threat to our national security. While much of the national conversation is about how open borders make our country less safe, there hasn't been sufficient discussion regarding the financial strain this border crisis places on taxpayers.


The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has calculated that the

cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers is $150.7 billion per year.


The Biden Administration has created this mess, and House Republicans will continue to provide needed oversight to highlight the administration's failures and what these failures are costing you.

Equal Representation Act

 

This week the House of Representatives passed the Equal Representation Act, which would require the inclusion of a citizenship question in the decennial census, and exclude noncitizens when apportioning congressional districts. 


Central to the founding principles of our nation is the concept that every citizen's voice should be heard, and every vote should count equally. However, the presence of over 22 million noncitizens residing in the United States poses a challenge to this principle. While these individuals cannot vote in federal elections, their presence significantly impacts the apportionment of congressional districts. Some states have disproportionately higher shares of noncitizens, leading to potential dilution of the principal of equal representation. 


As we look ahead to the 2030 decennial census and beyond, it is imperative that we take proactive steps to uphold the principle of equal representation. By passing this bill, Congress can reaffirm its commitment to ensuring fair and accurate representation for all citizens of the United States. 


I am proud to say I voted 'yes' on this bill. The Equal Representation Act will protect the voices of American citizens by ensuring they are properly represented on the federal level. 

 
 

Military Appreciation Month

 

Military Appreciation Month is a time set aside to honor and recognize the sacrifices, bravery, and dedication of those who serve or have served in the armed forces.


Throughout this special month, it's a time to reflect on the unwavering commitment of military personnel, from the frontline soldiers to the support staff, who work tirelessly to protect our country and uphold its values. Whether deployed overseas or stationed at home, their service and sacrifice ensure the safety and security of our nation and its citizens.


Thank you for your service and protecting our freedoms!
