“Democrats are out of touch with the American people. They have given up trying to persuade American citizens that their ideas are rational and good for the country, and are instead importing illegal aliens. Make no mistake: Joe Biden views every illegal alien as a future Democrat voter. This amnesty program allows illegal aliens to get citizenship and vote in future elections – he views the American people’s suffering as an acceptable price to pay to gain future Democrat voters," said Sen. Cruz.
"President Biden needs to stop rewriting immigration law and start enforcing it. He's allowed over 11 million illegal immigrants into America – including dangerous criminals, gang members & terrorists – and our country can’t survive four more years of these dangerous open borders. This new mass amnesty proposal, like President Obama's DACA proposal, will be stricken down by the courts for a simple reason: It is Congress, not the President, that has authority to make or change our nation's Immigration Laws,” said Abbott.
"The Biden White House’s decision to ban LNG export permits is at the expense of the American people, their jobs, and economic prosperity," said Cong. Randy Weber. "Hardworking families and critical energy infrastructure should not be sacrificed for political agendas. This outrageous ban directly harms Southeast Texas, threatens our national security, and will devastate our local communities. We will fight to protect American jobs, our energy independence, and the communities that rely on a thriving LNG industry."
Because the court struck down the Biden Administration’s unlawful rule, Texas schools do not and should not adopt or enforce any of the policy changes contained in the rule. Texas students are now safe from losing their Title IX protections and the school districts are protected from the threat of the loss of federal funding.
Your kids aren't even safe in broad daylight now. An Ecuadoran migrant held a boy and a girl – both just 13 years old – at knifepoint in a park near their Queens School last week, molesting the girl and robbing them of their cellphones. But there's a remedy. In November, voters everywhere, including New York City, will get to choose between the Democrat Party's open border policy and former Republican President Donald Trump's promise to crack down on illegal immigration and deport millions who are here illegally.
In order to provide a pay raise for our troops, improve military housing, supporting employment for military spouses & equipping our nation's Armed Services to defend against America's adversaries, South Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 that includes several of his defense priorities for the 23rd Congressional District of Texas.
“In America, we pride ourselves on supporting those who risk their lives to protect our communities – yet burdensome delays in our Federal Government have left officers like John Barnes waiting in limbo for over 6 years. This is unacceptable, and our law enforcement heroes deserve assistance without unnecessary obstacles hindering their access to vital benefits.” said Cong. Randy Weber.

Immediately after the burnings, rapes, mutilations and murders of Jews on Oct. 7, I was not alone in noting the one moral difference between Hamas and the Nazis: The Nazis tried to hide their crimes against the Jews from the German people (and the world) while Hamas proudly publicized their crimes against the Jews to the Palestinian people (and didn't mind that the world would inevitably see them bragging about killing Jews). In addition to videoing their atrocities, Hamas paraded captured Jews -- dead and alive, clothed and naked -- in front of cheering Palestinian crowds in Gaza.
They also deserve the best medical care possible. That’s why I was so alarmed to hear of incidents involving dirty surgical instruments at military hospitals — including one in Texas — that threatened the lives of servicemembers on the operating table. I introduced and passed an amendment in this year’s bill that requires a study to be carried out to get to the bottom of these tragedies and implement solutions to ensure they do not happen again.
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 513,700 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 44,000 criminal arrests, with more than 38,600 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 489 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico combined during this border mission.
Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Weber (TX-14) voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025, which strengthens our national security by deterring China, restoring lethality, funding troops at our border, and cracking down on inefficient uses of funds, while also supporting our servicemembers by taking meaningful steps to improve their quality of life
Texas’ production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs), refinery activity and exports have achieved new record highs, according to the most recent monthly energy economic analysis by Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) Chief Economist Dean Foreman, Ph.D. By TXOGA’s estimates for May 2024, Texas produced a record-high 5.7 mb/d of crude oil, plus 32.5 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas marketed production and 3.5 mb/d of NGLs.
All eyes were on Los Angeles Saturday night where the bragging point was supposed to be that President Biden was due to rake in (excited inhale here) $28 million. (Think Dr. Evil in the wrong time period.) Democrats were going to do this because the menace that supposedly is Donald J. Trump is about to turn the entire nation into some sort of concentration camp.
"Today, Democrats staged a show vote in an effort to fearmonger over IVF. Let’s be clear: No one is trying to ban IVF. Not one senator. I voted against this legislation because it goes far beyond IVF. It is designed to be a backdoor to federalize abortion and other issues that are best debated and considered on their own merits, not hidden in a bill that purportedly addresses IVF," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Land Ports of Entry are not only critical to Border Communities, but they also bring in billions of dollars worth of trade to our economy. That's why our International Bridges must be kept in the best shape possible, and this bill would cut that red tape and streamline the process," said Cong. Tony Gonzales, who represents the largest Border District in the U.S., spanning 823 miles of the Texas-Mexico order & including Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and El Paso.
Governor Greg Abbott today announced U.S. military installations in Texas contributed at least $151.2 billion to the Texas economy in 2023 and supported more than 677,022 jobs in communities across the state. The results are based on a study completed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at the request of the Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC) analyzing the impact on the state’s economy of military installations within Texas.
