The Mueller Investigation is Over...

This week, I was able to question Special Counsel Robert Mueller when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that in one of his answers, he contradicted himself from an official statement he had issued previously. He later had to correct his erroneous statement after I pointed out the contradiction. You can watch my line of questioning here:

We learned nothing new from this hearing, and it certainly was not the rallying cry for impeachment that the Democrats were hoping for. Now that Mueller has come to Capitol Hill to testify, my Democratic colleagues should finally accept the fact that this investigation is over.

 

Six New Immigration Bills

We are experiencing an unprecedented national security and humanitarian crisis at our southern border. In Arizona, we see the effects of this crisis every day. Congress’ failure to work together to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system is unacceptable. That is why I introduced six immigration bills to address some of the root causes of the border crisis. With the large influx of migrants crossing the border into America, these bills will reform our asylum system, increase the number of immigration judges and detention beds, and allow dangerous aliens to be detained. These six bills represent some of the immediate steps we can take to restore order at our border. Click  here or below to read more:

Stopping Bad Robocalls

Something we can all agree on -- we need less of those pesky robocalls! This week, I voted in support of the bipartisan Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, to verify telephone numbers, stop spam calls, and protect consumers from scams over the phone.

Casework Highlight

A constituent contacted my office because he had been unable to get any response to requests for his Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card to document his eligibility to work in the United States. He tried reaching out to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on several occasions, but he never got a response from them concerning the status of his card application. My staff reached out to USCIS and they confirmed the card was sent to the wrong address. We gave USCIS the correct address and requested the card be re-sent to that address. The constituent confirmed he received his new card in less than two weeks from the date he contacted us.

 

May God continue to bless you and our great Nation.

 

Sincerely,

Congresswoman Debbie Lesko
