Washington, D.C. – This week, United States District Court Judge William H. Orrick in San Francisco issued a temporary injunction on President Donald Trump's previous executive order that withholds federal funds from U.S. cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration laws. This decision follows two other court actions blocking a separate executive order on immigration vetting, including decisions by the frequently-overturned Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
PHOENIX — An Arizona congressman said Thursday he was glad to see President Donald Trump's proposed tax plan does not include a border adjustment tax.
"I think that's good news because that's not going to be helpful for the country," U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) told KTAR News 92.3 FM's Arizona's Morning News.
President Donald Trump's dedication to enforcing immigration law is one of his significant accomplishments as he nears his 100th day in office Saturday, experts and lawmakers say.
Trump is "taking the handcuffs off of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and the Border Patrol because the immigration enforcement officers were prohibited from doing their job to a significant degree under [President Barack] Obama," Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Signal in an interview.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Andy Biggs released the following statement to address the latest changes to the American Health Care Act:
"I promised my constituents that I would fight for a clean repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
It is no secret that most Americans do not trust our political institutions, particularly Congress. How will we ever restore confidence in Congress? If Congress fails to completely repeal Obamacare, we will have broken our promise to the American people.
Conservative and centrist Republicans in the House are working on a deal that some say could unite the two factions and attract enough votes to pass the stalled bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
But amid increased pressure from the White House to move forward with the plan to unravel the 2010 health care law, some conservatives have questions about the changes.
News of the deal comes as President Donald Trump nears his 100th day in office, and just days before lawmakers return to Washington, D.C., to hash out the details of a bill funding the government.
PHOENIX — Anytime a politician gets up in front of a town hall crowd, there is always a chance he or she is going to get an earful. Lately, Republican lawmakers have been hearing it loudly from frustrated voters.
"I think (one time GOP presidential candidate) Mike Huckabee said it best — ‘Politics is blood sport, and if you don't like the sight of your own blood you ought not to be in it,' " freshman U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) told KTAR's Arizona's Morning News on Friday.
