Dear John,

Undoing Biden’s Border Disaster

BIG Update

Congressional Republicans and President Trump have made historic progress in securing the southern border. Border crossings of illegal immigrants are at a record low, and the One Big Beautiful Bill provided funds to finish the border wall and hire thousands more immigration enforcement officials.

The United States can never let the border return to the state of crisis seen under the Biden Administration. I introduced the Furthering American Security by Tempering Environmental Regulations (FASTER) Act to require future administrations to act swiftly to maintain a secure southern border. This legislation will require the administration to evaluate border security infrastructure and technology on a regular basis and address any issues in a timely manner, securing the border for generations.

I joined Fox News Radio to discuss my legislation. You can listen here or by clicking the image above.

BIG Idea

Sanctuary cities that allow anti-ICE rioters to destroy transportation infrastructure often turn around and ask the federal government to foot the bill for the repairs. This behavior is beyond the pale.

Under the Biden Administration, sanctuary cities like Boston housed migrants in our airports. A city official in Los Angeles has even gone so far as to call for violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Political violence can never be tolerated.

I introduced a bill to prohibit any U.S. Department of Transportation funds from going to sanctuary cities who don’t comply with federal immigration law. My bill sends a message to state and local governments – if they want the federal government’s help, they must play by the rules. I talked to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about my bill and he expressed his support for it.

BIG News

In March, a woman was convicted for her part in methamphetamine distribution as part of a Mexican cartel operation on the Pine Ridge Reservation. This led to the deportation of two cartel members, who had already been deported numerous times.

This week, the House Committee on Natural Resources held a hearing on the impact of cartels and drug trafficking in Indian country. I encouraged the FBI to prioritize enforcement efforts on South Dakota reservations. These cartels do not care about the safety of Pine Ridge or the rest of South Dakota. The federal government should work with tribes to allocate resources to combat these bad actors.
