56th Speaker of the House | Christian, husband, dad, Constitutional law attorney & small biz owner.
Today, we celebrate the brave patriots who earned our military’s highest award for distinguished acts of service.

Tammy Nobles and Stefanie Turner are two of the many parents who’ve experiences the devasting effects of the catastrophe at our border. Both tragically lost their children, to criminal aliens and fentanyl.
I am honored to be hosting them at the State of the Union, as we fight to secure our border and hold President Biden accountable for his failure to protect their children and so many more across the country.

REMINDER: President Biden traveled over 1,700 miles for a photo op at the border in a weak attempt to convince Americans he’s trying to address the catastrophe he created.
He could have done more to secure the border with the simple stroke of a pen.

In less than a week, there have been 4 vicious attacks against innocent young Americans, all committed by illegal immigrants. We are sickened by these tragedies and praying for the victims and their families.
It is clear to all that President Biden’s policies are directly to blame for this ongoing catastrophe, as his administration has RELEASED en masse illegals and dangerous criminals into our country.
Stop the madness, Mr. President! It’s past time for you to put the American people first and use your executive authorities to secure the border!

I enjoyed my visit yesterday in Mansfield, LA, at one of the many natural gas drilling sites in my district. Chesapeake Energy does extraordinary work producing clean, efficient LNG, which is critical to our nation’s economy and security, and to our allies around the world.
Incredibly, instead of embracing domestic oil and gas production, the Biden Administration has ATTACKED it. House Republicans will continue to do everything we can to support this critical industry and the hardworking men and women who supply America’s energy needs.

The Biden Administration has failed America by failing to secure our border. These 100 stories show how the Biden Administration’s open door to illegal immigration is flooding America with fentanyl, human trafficking, and increased violence, bankrupting municipalities, and killing our citizens. They have the power to stop the catastrophe and secure the border right now, but they simply will not do so.

This week, I joined over 450 Sheriffs from across the country at their national conference here in Washington. It was my honor to thank them in person for their dedicated service to protecting our communities.
I also assured them that House Republicans are committed to securing our border and ending the humanitarian catastrophe and scourge of drugs and crime created by our wide open border.

Senate Republicans did the right thing by rejecting supplemental national security legislation that would not actually secure the border.
I declared it would be dead on arrival in the House, and credit Senate Republicans for ensuring it was never sent over.
Let me be clear, as I have been all along: National security begins by securing our own border. The House, and the American people, insist upon it.

I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, “the border never closes.”
If this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival.

It was great to catch up with Dr. Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale College and Matt Spalding, the Dean of Van Andel Graduate School of Government.
Hillsdale is one of the last great pillars of American conservatism in the higher education system.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed what we all knew: the Colorado Supreme Court engaged in a purely partisan attack against the frontrunner for the Republican presidential primary.
States engaging in the same activist, undemocratic behaviors should take notice and leave it to the American people to decide who will be president.

President Biden’s election-year shift, coming on the heels of multiple violent crimes by illegals his own administration released, won’t convince Americans he is serious about border security. The fact that it's taken more than three years to do anything to confront dangerous sanctuary cities should show everyone the President is grasping at straws to cover up his border catastrophe.
If the President is serious about securing the border, he should use his executive authority to make immediate changes to the border, deter illegals from coming, and stop the mass release of illegals into our country.

On Friday, I met with community leaders in the Shreveport-Bossier area to hear the concerns on their hearts and minds. Unsurprisingly, the top concern was the catastrophe at the southern border.
I have been all across the country in the last week - from the West Coast to Long Island down to the Deep South - and everyone is saying the same thing: border, border, border.
It’s the number one issue for Americans and the number one issue for House Republicans.

We’re grateful the House will be welcoming back this week my good brother and fellow Louisianan Steve Scalise, who is now in complete remission from cancer.
Steve is a fighter and God has answered our prayers. Looking forward to having him back in the trenches this week! 🇺🇸

Another 1 million encounters at the southern border since the start of the fiscal year. This is a new record, and the earliest we’ve hit this terrible threshold. Under President Biden, the catastrophe he created grows worse, and the danger and chaos at the border continues to harm America.
He must immediately use his executive authority to take action now.

Democrats are refusing to take the border catastrophe and its affects seriously.
This week, the majority of House Democrats opposed commonsense legislation that:
•Deports illegal immigrants
convicted of Social Security fraud
•Deports illegal immigrants convicted of DUIs
•Imposes criminal and immigration penalties against illegal immigrants who flee Border Patrol by car
House Republicans will continue to take action to make Americans and their communities safer

In December 2022, Border Patrol Agent Raul Gonzalez Jr. was killed pursing a group of illegal immigrants in a high-speed chase.
Today the House voted to pass the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act which would impose criminal and immigration penalties against any illegal immigrant who intentionally evades a federal officer while driving. The House stands shoulder-to-shoulder with every law enforcement officer working to secure the border.
