Take up H.R. 2 with mandatory E-Verify intact — the moment it arrives
Since the Supreme Court’s June 30 birthright ruling, every illegal entry can also produce a U.S.-citizen child who anchors a family here, so shutting off the jobs magnet that draws those entries matters more than ever.

Pass H.R. 2 with mandatory E-Verify — shut off the jobs magnet
Illegal immigration is driven by two rewards that compound each other: a paycheck and, since the Supreme Court’s June 30 birthright ruling, a U.S.-citizen child who can anchor a family here. The citizenship side can no longer be changed quickly, but the jobs side can be shut off — and that is the fastest way to reduce the illegal entries that trigger both.

Don’t let H.R. 2 stall in the Senate again
A national-security gap just opened that the Senate will soon have a chance to help close. In striking down the birthright executive order, the Supreme Court guaranteed U.S. citizenship to the children of illegal entrants and foreign birth tourists alike — even, Justice Thomas warned, the child of “an alien enemy” or “a foreign spy.” The executive branch cannot reverse that, so when H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, reaches the Senate, it should be taken up at once and passed.

Pass H.R. 2 — the birthright ruling just handed our adversaries a loophole
When H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, reaches the floor at the vote promised before July 4, cast your vote to pass it. The Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling guaranteed automatic citizenship to every child born on U.S. soil — including, as Justice Thomas warned in dissent, “a child of an alien enemy or a child of a foreign spy,” and even children “raised in foreign countries” who “join foreign armies, and fight wars against the United States.” The executive branch can no longer stop it, and the citizenship rule itself cannot be changed overnight.
-
When H.R. 2 clears the House, take it up and pass it
The Senate has seen this bill before — and last time it let the Secure the Border Act die without a vote. It cannot afford a repeat. Since the June 30 decision, the birthright reward the Court declined to limit attaches to every illegal entry and overstay, and an executive order cannot durably close it off, because the next president could reverse those actions on day one. When H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, clears the House, the Senate should take it up at once and pass it.

Pass H.R. 2 — every illegal entry now carries a citizenship multiplier
Vote yes on H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, when it reaches the floor at the vote House leadership has promised before July 4. Since the Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling, every illegal entry, visa overstay, and birth tourism visit carries a citizenship multiplier — a child who is a citizen at birth and can one day anchor an entire family here. That reward is now far harder to change, which makes shutting off the flows that trigger it a top priority.

Mass immigration deepens U.S. housing crisis — cosponsor H.R. 2705
In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released its Worst Case Housing Needs: 2025 Report to Congress. It found that between 2021 and 2024 the U.S. foreign-born population increased by more than 6 million people — the largest short-term increase in American history. This immigration surge translated directly into a soaring demand for housing. Nationwide, two-thirds of new renter households came from immigration-driven population growth.

Pass S. 3790 and stop sanctuary detainer refusals
For 28 years, a Salvadoran national lived in this country under a final order of removal that was never enforced. This month he stands charged with raping a 16-year-old girl in New York — a state that has released thousands of criminals rather than turn them over to ICE for deportation.

Strip the guest worker expansions from the DHS spending bill
I urge you to strip the H-2B and H-2A guest worker expansions from the DHS appropriations bill. Last month the leisure and hospitality sector lost 61,000 jobs amid weak seasonal hiring, and labor force participation fell to its lowest level in more than four years.

Why isn’t border security a priority?
A recent Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas study found the illegal immigration surge accounted for roughly 30% of home-price growth and 20% of rent growth in the average American metro area, with no matching rise in homebuilding to relieve it.

Pass H.R. 2 the moment you return from recess
Before the July 4 recess, House leadership promised a floor vote on H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act — and it never came. Please pass it the moment the House returns.
-
Fix the TVPRA’s loopholes before reauthorizing it
Before the House votes to reauthorize the TVPRA, I urge you to insist that it actually closes the loopholes traffickers have exploited for years. Renewing the law and leaving them in place is a missed opportunity we can’t afford.

Bring H.R. 7640 to the floor and shut down dangerous sanctuary releases
A man who was ordered deported in 1998 was free to allegedly attack a 16-year-old girl in Huntington this month — not because the law failed, but because New York refuses to honor the federal detainers that would have placed him in ICE custody. Last year alone, that refusal sent nearly 7,000 criminals back into communities across the state.
-
When the Senate returns, take up H.R. 2 without delay
When the Senate comes back from its summer recess, take up H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, without delay. The Supreme Court’s June 30 birthright ruling made the citizenship reward far harder to change, so shutting off the illegal entries and overstays that trigger it matters more than ever — and Congress is heading home for five weeks with the bill still waiting.
-
Make H.R. 2 your first order of business when you return
Come back from recess ready to pass H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. The Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling left birthright citizenship far harder to change, so reducing the illegal entries and overstays that trigger it has become the priority — and the House is leaving town without acting on it. The vote leadership promised has not happened, and a five-week recess is about to put it off even longer.

Cosponsor H.R. 8586
Please cosponsor H.R. 8586, the Americans First Immigration Act.

Virginia just showed us why we need H.R. 2
Virginia’s new governor rescinded her predecessor’s ICE cooperation order within hours of taking office. With Democrats controlling both legislative chambers and the governor’s mansion, the state is now moving to shield illegal aliens from federal enforcement. This is exactly what happens when immigration policy depends on executive action alone — and exactly why Congress must pass H.R. 2.

Support H.R. 2 and protect American workers with mandatory E-Verify
The latest Harvard/Harris poll shows — for the first time — shows that a majority of Democrats say their own party stands against open borders. Most Americans now agree on something that once divided us: our immigration laws should be enforced, and the workers who follow the rules deserve to be protected. I’m part of that majority and hope you are, too.

Support H.R. 116 to close asylum loopholes and restore integrity to our system
The evidence is overwhelming: our asylum system was systematically abused during the border crisis. In FY 2025, immigration judges denied over 82,000 asylum claims — more than doubling the previous year’s denials. The annual grant rate fell to 9.9%, the lowest in at least a decade, and the denial rate has since climbed to nearly 80%. These figures confirm what Americans have suspected for years: the vast majority of asylum claims filed at the border were not legitimate.

Support and pass S. 3790 to shut down dangerous sanctuary policies
I urge you to support and pass S. 3790, the Protect America Act. Across the country, sanctuary jurisdictions are refusing to honor lawful ICE detainers and releasing criminal aliens back onto our streets. Americans are losing their lives because of it.
