WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, House Judiciary Democrats refused to relent with their radical demands to have staff question Attorney General William Barr for today's hearing. Attorney General Barr, in accordance with precedent of past hearings, volunteered his appearance to speak to Members, but not to committee counsel. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
The U.S.-Mexico border is a humanitarian and national security disaster. It is a problem of epic proportions that must be solved. Here is what we five Republican U.S. House members saw on the Arizona-Mexico border last week.
We hadn't been on the border long when we saw several illegal immigrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents, including a group of 42.
GILBERT, ARIZONA – Last week, Congressman Andy Biggs led a congressional delegation to the U.S.-Mexico border to better understand the escalating crisis caused by illegal immigration. Congressman Biggs was joined by Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Sean Duffy, Rep. John Joyce, Rep. Duncan Hunter, Rep. Dusty Johnson, and Rep. Pete Stauber. During the trip, the delegation met with Angel parents, Border Patrol agents, DEA officials, ICE agents, Immigration Court judges, and Customs officers. Members of the delegation released the following statements:
GILBERT, ARIZONA – After Attorney General William Barr released the final report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
"The full report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller confirms what we already knew: there is no evidence of conspiracy between candidate Donald Trump or his campaign and Russia. The narrative spun by Democrats and the media for nearly two years could not even be substantiated by a politicized investigation and biased investigators.
GILBERT, ARIZONA – This past weekend, Congressman Andy Biggs hosted the East Valley's first Drop Zone event – a one-stop shop for veterans services and seniors benefits. The event, which featured a National Anthem rendition from Diana Stocker, TAPS from Jacob Petersen, remarks from Mike Broomhead, and Colors from the American Leadership Academy's Black Eagle Squadron, drew over 2,000 East Valley residents and vendors. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:
House Republicans on Tuesday introduced legislation that they say would provide a "free market alternative" to paid family leave proposals.
The Freedom for Families Act — introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and co-sponsored by 12 Republicans — would allow individuals to use health savings accounts (HSAs) to cover expenses while on leave following a birth, adoption or family member's illness.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Biggs introduced the Freedom for Families Act, a free-market alternative to federally-mandated paid family leave, which would make funds in a health savings account available for expenses during a period of leave for the birth or adoption of a child, or for a family illness. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
Democrats truly have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Kirstjen Nielsen is out as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Ron Vitiello's name was pulled from the nomination to direct Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Yet the president's political opponents are howling about these changes as if they were supporters of Nielsen and Vitiello. In reality, change comes in political circles, and sometimes very often.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2030, the Colorado River Drought Contingency PlanAuthorization Act. Congressman Biggs is an original cosponsor of this legislation. He issued the following statement:
The Mueller investigation was an illegitimate attack on the executive branch.
This statement remains true especially considering that the ethically conflicted, anti-Trump biased team of 19 full-time government prosecutors found that there was no "collusion" and no obstruction of justice. Mueller's findings demonstrate the weakness of the initial premise to investigate Trump, his family and campaign staff.
