Congressman Andy Biggs Welcomes President Donald Trump to Arizona

Gilbert, Arizona – Today, Congressman Biggs welcomed President Donald J. Trump to Phoenix, Arizona:

"I am pleased to welcome President Trump back to Arizona. We are privileged to host him in the Grand Canyon State.

"Since President Trump took office in January, confidence in the economy has rebounded. Immigration laws have been enforced, and the number of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border has slowed. Onerous job-killing regulations have been slashed, freeing up major sectors of the American economy to revitalize job growth. Neil Gorsuch, a Constitutional constructionist, has taken his seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Law and order will no longer be ignored. Our military has been empowered to keep our nation safe through strength. Life has been protected.

"President Trump has been successful in many of his quests to make America great again, and some of his battles are only beginning. As the President visits Yuma and the border today, I encourage the country – and our leaders – to renew our resolve to secure the border and to build the promised wall. The House of Representatives has already passed legislation providing border wall funding, and I hope that my colleagues in the Senate will do the same in September. We have no excuses for an unsecured border. President Trump realizes that, and the American people realize that. It is time for Congress to come to that realization when we reconvene."
