WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, Democrats on the House Rules Committee refused to make in order Congressman Biggs' amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would allow the use of national security funds for border wall construction. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
The left has so misrepresented the state of our southern border that they simply cannot be trusted. For months, Democrats and their media accomplices denied the crisis on the border. They claimed that President Trump and conservatives had "manufactured" the crisis for political gain. Their statements were lies.
GILBERT, ARIZONA – This week, the Congressional Budget Office released its report for the Effects on Employment and Family Income of Increasing the Federal Minimum Wage. This report specifically examines how increasing the federal minimum wage to $10, $12, or $15 per hour by 2025 would affect employment and family income.
Some disturbing revelations from the report include:
GILBERT, ARIZONA – Today, the Department of Labor released the jobs report for the month of June, showing that the economy added 224,000 jobs, that wage earnings rose 3.1% over a year ago, and that the unemployment rate remained well under 4%. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
Democrats have been proven wrong in their assessment on the border. Yet, even with Americans of all political persuasions now understanding that America is being overwhelmed by illegal border-crossers, Democrats have gone even further out on a limb to obstruct a solution to this crisis.
Democrats have been dying to hear directly from special counsel Robert Mueller for months, but they're not alone. President Donald Trump's GOP allies in Congress are salivating at the chance to bruise Mueller's reputation and cast doubt on the integrity of his work.
There are approximately 1 million people illegally in the United States who have been ordered to leave by a judge. These illegal aliens have had due process, their day in court, and many have even lost on appeal. They have received more protections of their "rights" by having access to America's judicial system than an illegal alien would receive in most other countries.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate amendment to H.R. 3401, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, which passed the Senate 84-8 yesterday. Congressman Biggs voted against this legislation and issued the following statement:
House Republicans said they are eager to question former special counsel Robert Mueller when he testifies in open session before two House panels next month.
While Democrats have spent weeks seeking an appearance from Mueller so they can ask about President Trump's efforts to obstruct his two-year investigation into Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign, the GOP is planning a much different line of questioning.
The situation at America's southern border is a crisis that continues to deteriorate. In May, Customs and Border Protection reported that 144,278 aliens were apprehended at the southern border, and that more than 675,000 have been apprehended this fiscal year. This doesn't even reflect the "got-aways," which some agents have told me could be two to three times higher.
