Proud to vote today in support of our ICE agents. As any Texan can tell you, our current immigration system is desperately in need of repair, but the solution is to focus on preventing and prosecuting those who break our laws, not trying to undermine the agents who enforce them.

Great morning at the Lake Highlands 4 th of July Parade! Great day to remember and celebrate the gift of freedom and American exceptionalism.

My iPad continues to be awash with reports that our national debt is unsustainable. This is just one more sobering reminder – something that is unsustainable one day stops. There is only one solution and it is to reform entitlement programs for future beneficiaries.

Furthermore, for the first time in almost 40 years, Social Security’s cost will exceed its income. Both of these troubling reports are further evidence that as a nation we are continuing to spend money we do not have and we are passing the bill to future generations.

We have two ominous events occurring because of failing entitlement programs. A new report from the Medicare trustees projects that the Medicare’s Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be depleted three years earlier than previously reported.

The Administration may be correct in claiming that the existing steel and aluminum tariffs have been helpful to some workers and jobs, but it’s hurt other businesses that use these metals. It’s going to be a tax on all consumers.

Protectionist policies typically are another version of crony capitalism with the government picking winners and losers.

I strongly disagree with the decision to move forward with the implementation of tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from Mexico, Canada, and the EU under the guise of national security concerns.

It is my sincere hope that you will take time to reflect upon the service of our fallen heroes. On this Memorial Day and every day, I ask that you join me in praying for those we have lost and their loved ones. #MemorialDay

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our country in the military. I am always reminded that freedom is not free, and it certainly cannot be taken for granted.

I again call upon the President and his administration to exercise extreme caution and focus on the nation states that violate the actual trade rules and force transfers of our technology and intellectual property.

All of the great gains President Trump has made with generational tax relief and bureaucratic regulatory reforms – the reforms that are fueling our economy – can be wiped out overnight if we end up in a global trade war.

Trade laws designed to uphold critical national security measures should never be used as an excuse for raw protectionism.

The Honda Accord is not a threat to our national security. However, taxing it with trade tariffs is a threat to the economic security of millions of hardworking American families.
