PHOENIX – U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) has filed a motion to censure Rep. Maxine Waters over her suggestion that members of the Trump administration should be confronted in public.

Biggs was responding to comments the California Democrat made during a rally against President Donald Trump's immigration policy in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Waters cited a recent incident in which White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was refused service in a Virginia restaurant.

" You need to understand there is no border," said Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., asked to explain what people who don't live in border states miss about immigration.

"There's no border, No. 1," Biggs continued. "No. 2, the impact of that is everything from drug smuggling to human trafficking to violence."

If I were a citizen of Mexico, living in Guadalajara, and decided I wanted to emigrate to the United States, I would have to apply for the legal documents to enter the U.S. while I remained in Mexico. It would require a significant period of time and a thorough process before I could legally enter.

After entering America legally, I could apply for citizenship and wait the decade or so before it is my turn. I would not be given special treatment outside the regular, legal path.

Republican lawmakers are asking the Justice Department's internal watchdog to hand over the names of unidentified FBI agents and employees mentioned in its report on how the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and seven other Republicans wrote a letter asking Inspector General Michael Horowitz whether the FBI employees in question should be unmasked "in the interest of justice and transparency."

A group of eight House Republicans has asked Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to give them the names of FBI employees mentioned in last week's report on the Hillary Clinton email investigation, some of whom were portrayed as anti-Trump.

The letter said the lawmakers were "grateful" for Horowitz's work in compiling the report, but added that they were requesting the names "in the interest of justice and transparency."

Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Ron DeSantis (Fla.) and Matt Gaetz (Fla.) are requesting all unrevised drafts of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) report on the procedures it used during the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use.

A U.S. House bill sponsored by Arizona Republican Andy Biggs that gives terminally ill people access to experimental drugs was signed into law by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

The legislation, known as the "Right to Try" bill, allows patients with life-threatening conditions to use treatments that haven't received Food and Drug Administration approval.

"There were no options. But now you have hope — you really have hope," Trump said. He noted that "for many years, patients, advocates and lawmakers have fought for this fundamental freedom."

Americans elected Republicans to enact a pro-life agenda, yet Congress has done very little to protect life because of the Senate's 60-vote rule. Until this arcane rule is repealed, we can only change policy around the margins. We must do more to defend the unborn.

It's true, we have taken small steps to advance pro-life legislation, but we have taken a long stride through the appointment of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. There is more work ahead!
