Dear John,
Every Virginia town is a border town under Joe Biden. We are suffering from the failed policies of the Democrat Party, and Republicans who campaign on securing the border but do nothing about it. Just this year, there have been numerous illegal aliens committing heinous crimes against the people in OUR DISTRICT. In Campbell County, a 21-year-old illegal alien allegedly raped a young girl, and in February a 32-year-old illegal alien was charged in Bedford County with carnal knowledge of a minor. These are just two of the most recent examples in Congressional District 5. This is close to home, illustrating the urgent need to support law enforcement and stop the invasion at our southern border.
Just last week, I introduced the "Protect Our Police Act” which would prohibit the Biden Administration’s efforts to prevent police departments from accessing valuable military surplus equipment that can help them keep our communities safer.
I am working to CLOSE our southern border. Here are a few of the bills I have sponsored:
H.R. 398, No Asylum for Criminals Act
This bill would codify and strengthen Trump Administration asylum reforms by disqualifying criminals from eligibility.
H.R. 991, Preserving Safety Net Integrity Act
This bill would codify Trump policies that ensure immigrants demonstrate self-sufficiency.
H.R.4199, No Taxpayer Funding for the Central American Minors
This bill would codify Trump policies blocking taxpayer funding for an Obama/Biden chain-migration program.
H.R. 7024, Every Town A Border Town Act
This bill would declare MS-13 a foreign terrorist organization.
H.R.6628, Close Biden’s Open Border Act
This legislation would finish construction of Trump’s border wall and pay for it by cutting off UN funding.
Last Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted legislation to restore the U.S. Citizenship question to the next U.S. Census in 2030. I voted for this bill, because this question should have never been removed, and only U.S. citizens should be considered for the apportionment of congressional district and presidential electoral votes.
You didn’t send me to Washington to play DC Swamp Games. You sent me to secure our southern border and to fight to help make our communities safer.
