It took one day for east coast progressives to change their tune on immigration and bus illegal immigrants out of their city.

When 50 illegal immigrants descend Martha’s Vineyard, an elite vacation spot in Massachusetts, it’s a “crisis.” Biden calls it “un-American” and accuses conservatives of “playing politics with people’s lives.”

But when millions of migrants descend upon border towns and Biden flies them around the country in the dead of night, Washington Democrats don’t even bat an eye. Why? Because it’s not in their back yard. It’s a problem for other people – the ranchers who wake up to find dead bodies on their property. The Border Patrol agents who are getting assaulted. The communities ravished by drug cartels and human trafficking operations.

Not for the island vacation hub where the average annual income tops $380,000 a year.

That’s what’s wrong with Washington Democrats’ so-called “progressive” stance on immigration; it only exists within the walls of their ivory tower. When faced with the consequences of those beliefs, they pivot. Yet shockingly, the culprit remains the same: Republicans. You know, the people who support strong border patrol policies, funding for ICE, legal immigration, and have visited the southern border to see what conditions on the ground are for the border patrol agents and community members.

It only took 24 hours for the elite to get fed up with an issue that the rest of us have been battling for 606 days.

Wake up, Washington – it’s time to secure our southern border.

In this week's edition of Buddy's Briefing, we are standing up for medical professionals' first amendment rights. 

Monday, September 12th: On Saturday, I was honored to speak at the Okefenokee Rural Electric Membership Corporation’s (REMC) 83rd annual meeting held at Brantley County High School in Nahunta and bring the crowd of over 700 an update on current legislative issues.

Yesterday, I was honored to speak at the Richmond Hill Remembers 9/11 service held at J.F. Gregory Park and hosted by Bethel Baptist Church of Richmond Hill. This outstanding service included special music, recognition of our first responders and military and a great message delivered by Pastor Brian Cooper. It is important for us to continue to observe this tragic event in our country’s history and honor those who lost their lives 21 years ago and those that fought and died in the War on Terrorism that followed.

I’m up early this morning and have a phone interview with the economic writers with the Atlanta Journal Constitution to discuss the $5.5 billion electric vehicle Hyundai plant proposed to be built in Bryan County and the negative impact Washington Democrats' Inflation "Reduction" Act may have on its completion.

Next, I have a meeting in Pooler with a local realtor to discuss future development plans in West Chatham County before heading to downtown Savannah to visit the Tomochichi Courthouse for an update on the renovation and tour of the construction site. We are led on the tour by Judge Stan Baker who explains how the building was originally constructed as the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse and details the changes and improvements being made to modernize the historic structure in order to meet the Federal Judiciary’s current and long-term needs for security, accessibility, and operational efficiency.

Tuesday, September 13th: I’m headed back to Washington this morning after our traditional August recess and arrive at the Capitol just in time to meet with members of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce in the Hart Senate building. After addressing the group and participating in a question-and-answer session, I have the honor of introducing Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who addresses the group.

Once back in my office, I have an in-person interview with Politico to discuss the Pharmacists Conscience Protection Act that I have recently introduced. While the Biden Administration is trying to force pharmacists to fill prescriptions that will be used to induce an abortion, my bill allows pharmacists who may object on moral, ethical, or religious grounds the discretion to not fill a prescription.

Next, I join in on our all staff conference call before meeting with legislative staff to discuss Budget Committee issues. After a meeting with Fox Rehab to discuss pending Medicare cuts, I head to our weekly Whip Team meeting before heading to the House Chamber for our first vote series of the week.

Later in the evening, I have a live interview on Newsmax to discuss out of control inflation and our country’s fragile economy.

Wednesday, September 14th: I am delighted this morning to welcome members of the Brunswick-Golden Isles Chamber of Commerce to the Capitol for their annual fly-in visit. It is always good to see friends from home at the Capitol, especially after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

After briefing this august group on the issues in Washington, I head to the Congressional Visitors Center (CVC) for our weekly GOP Conference before heading to the House Chamber where I pay tribute to former Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal, Lt. General Donald Rosenbaum, the 100-year anniversary of Port Wentworth Baptist Church, and my father-in-law from Waycross, Terrell Coppage.

After receiving the National Federation of Independent Businesses' (NFIB) "House Guardian of Small Business Award," I head to our first and only vote series of the day.

Once back in my office, I meet again with members of the Brunswick-Golden Isles Chamber of Commerce. After meeting with members of the Southeastern Credit Unions and Affiliates, I meet with my good friend Marty Daniel, CEO of Daniel Defense in Bryan County.

Next, I have a virtual interview with Fox 28 TV in Savannah to discuss my Access to Critical Non-Emergency Transportation Services Act.

Next, I head to Isle of Hope in Chatham County where I volunteer at the Humanitarian Aid donation drive for Ukraine sponsored by Savannah Supports Ukraine. This great group of volunteers is quickly approaching completion of their third container of dry goods, medication, etc., to be sent to Ukraine.

After a great visit, I head to our Savannah District Office where I have a virtual interview with A Starting Point to discuss the impact on our environment that a federal authorization of the production and cultivation of marijuana would have.
