"We are a beacon of freedom and a friend to nations around the world who have stood by our side — we do not let our allies bleed out on the battlefield.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — "I strongly supported the End the Border Catastrophe Act because it would have closed asylum loopholes, reinforced border security infrastructure, and delivered more resources to enforce against illegal immigration. As a 20-year Navy veteran, I will always fight to safeguard our national security – both at home and abroad.

"Today, I voted in support of bringing foreign aid legislation to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for a vote.
