Introduced Legislation to Stop the Terrorist Invasion at the Border
We are a land of laws, and it is past time this Administration acts like it. Joe Biden is encouraging a deadly invasion of fighting-age men on American soil and each day this Democrat-created influx of illegal aliens allows bad actors to slip past Border Patrol undetected. Under current law, CBP is not required to screen migrants against the terrorist watchlist database, and as we have seen too often, dangerous criminals are released into our nation who go on to harm American citizens and communities. I introduced legislation requiring CBP to screen and detain all individuals attempting to cross the border until a match is returned on that migrant. Now more than ever, we must be aware of who is in our country as Republicans fight to restore law and order and end Biden’s deadly open border policies that are destroying America.

Condemned the CFPB’s Latest Overbearing Data Collection Rule
I led 17 members in a letter to CFPB Director Chopra expressing significant concern about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) “Auto Finance Data Project” and requesting that he refrain from proceeding with this new information collection. By expanding data collection without a clear explanation of how it serves to protect consumers, the CFPB is embarking on an unauthorized fishing expedition rather than fulfilling its mandate to carry out the purposes and objectives of the Federal consumer financial laws. Congress intended the CFPB to strike a balance between effective oversight and practical considerations for businesses, which would be compromised by the extensive data collection proposal. I urged the CFPB to rescind the Auto Finance Data Project and return to focusing on the their intended mission of protecting consumers. Read the letter here.
Fighting Back Against Biden's EPA
We are a country of competition - of risk and reward - and I believe the federal government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers. Competition drives the auto industry, not government innovations, and as the owner and operator of a car dealership in Texas for over 52 years, I have seen first-hand the impact that over regulation can have on Main Street. Biden and his EPA are out of touch with the American people by doubling down on their costly green energy bailout. The bottom line is hardworking American families should be able to make their own decisions on purchasing a vehicle that best suits their needs, not the Biden Administration.
In God we trust,
Roger Williams
Member of Congress
