Year in Review: Chairman McCaul Finishes Strong
Rep. Michael McCaul
Jan. 2, 2019
Committee Unveils Report on Stopping Terrorist Travel Through Illicit Pathways to the Homeland
Rep. Michael McCaul
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "The time for political games is over. Lives are at stake. Just last week, an illegal immigrant who crossed our southern border murdered police officer Ronil Singh, an immigrant himself. The crime caused by open borders has to stop. We need the wall."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "It's time that Democrats stop playing games with the safety of our country. In this new year, let us all resolve to finally pass the funding necessary to secure our border and keep America safe. No more broken promises. No more excuses."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "The numbers are alarming. How many convicted criminals and terrorists have to enter our country before Democrats agree to get serious about border security and give @realDonaldTrump the tools he needs to build a wall and keep our communities safe?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "We need to build the wall and give @realDonaldTrump the tools he needs to secure our border. I'll join @seanhannity on @FoxNews tonight to discuss."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "Let me be clear: Dems support strong, effective border security. The type of border security that Dems have long-supported, including increased funds for tech, is what experts have said is needed & actually works. What doesn't work is an ineffective, expensive & medieval wall."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "Democrats will have to get serious about border security so that a government funding agreement can pass the House, earn 60 votes in the Senate, and receive a presidential signature. All three of these things are needed. One partisan vote in the House won't solve anything."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 2, 2019
Tweet - "It is unconscionable that @POTUS would sit in the White House and say that #Iran and its proxies ought to be allowed to take up positions on the borders of our closest regional allies. http://bit.ly/2R2cPgF "

Dec. 29, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 29, 2018

Dec. 27, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 27, 2018

Sen. John Cornyn
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Approx. 800,000 federal workers across the country are being furloughed or forced to work w/o pay due to @POTUS' temper tantrum over his costly, ineffective border wall. Read here about how the American people are negatively affected by the #TrumpShutdown:"

Dec. 24, 2018

Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Last week, the House voted to give @realDonaldTrump the full funding he needs for the border wall--the key to security at our southern border. The Senate needs to follow our lead."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Dec. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Think about it: Schumer offered $25B for border security on DACA deal and $40B on Gang of 8 immigration bill. This isn't about substance. It is all about politics and fear of the Democrat base, the Abolish ICE crowd"
