Since our nation's founding, over 600,000 Tennesseans have fought to defend our country. Among them, more than 13,000 never returned home. On Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices of all the brave men and women who have given their lives to defend our freedoms. This weekend, join me in praying for those who have lost their loved ones in the fight for freedom. We remember their sacrifice and honor their lasting legacy on our nation.
This week, I led my Senate GOP colleagues in a press conference pushing back on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's scheme to bring a sham immigration bill to the Senate floor that would make illegal immigration legal. This is an election-year political stunt that would make Biden's open border agenda permanent. We are a nation of law and order, and yet the Biden administration has allowed over 10 million illegal immigrants to flood our border. That is higher than the populations of 7 major U.S. cities – Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville – combined. Under this administration, every town is a border town. There is a solution to this catastrophe: the Secure the Border Act or H.R. 2., legislation received in the U.S. Senate over a year ago. If Democrats were truly serious about upholding the rule of law and defending democracy, they would join us and pass H.R. 2. Watch the video here.
