    Thank you for visiting our border community. ’s fake national emergency is nothing more than an attempt to undermine the will of Congress and the American people.

    I’m at our border today where there is no “national emergency.” San Ysidro is the busiest border crossing in the Western Hemisphere. It’s a region of economic vibrancy — of trade and commerce. Our state thrives because of the families who live on both sides of this border.

    Israel has and remains a stalwart ally of the United States because of our countries’ shared interests and values. I condemn her remarks and believe she should apologize for her offensive comments. (2/2)

    It is disturbing that Rep. Omar continues to perpetuate hurtful anti-Semitic stereotypes that misrepresent our Jewish community. Additionally, questioning support for the U.S.-Israel relationship is unacceptable. (1/2)

    The goes beyond partisanship. Democrats & Republicans alike swore an oath to protect & defend the Constitution. It’s time to uphold that promise & protect the separation of powers just as our Founders intended.

    Making asylum seekers stay in a country that is foreign to them contradicts the founding principles of our nation. As a world leader, the U.S. should be modeling how to treat the world’s most vulnerable populations.

    Contrary to its name, the policy does not protect migrants, it only makes their asylum journey more difficult. I’m with at a shelter to learn how this new policy is negatively impacting the lives of migrants.

    Since taking office, President Trump has selfishly put his interests ahead of those of the American people. The executive power of declaring a national emergency should be reserved for instances of disaster – not some manufactured crisis he created himself.

    The current systems in place are failing & people are dying. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity & have access to medical care. Congress demands answers.
