In less the twelve hours, the chaos at the border has only grown.
It is a situation that has failed to address.
I introduced the FINISH IT Act to require this administration to finish building the wall it has already paid for.

Last year’s Yazoo Backwater Area listening session was not the first time residents shared their concerns with federal officials, but this time, the message got through. The team from Washington listened and learned from Mississippians. #WickerReport

Those living in the South Delta have realized that every spring could deliver a life-altering flood. Residents have pursued solutions but have been met with resistance at every turn. Now we have a new plan that is moving forward. #WickerReport

The LOCAL Infrastructure Act would provide relief by allowing municipalities to take advantage of lower interest rates as they become available, resulting in significant savings for these communities.

State and local governments often have to issue bonds to pay for important local infrastructure, but sky-high inflation has pushed borrowing costs through the roof.

The debt ceiling and border crisis are standoffs of President Biden’s own making. He has the power to end both today – But it will require working with Republicans.

With Title 42 coming to an end, we can no longer wait to finish the wall. My FINISH IT Act I introduced with and would force the Biden administration to stop government waste and deploy unused border wall materials immediately.

President Biden could not have created a worse border crisis if he tried, but he continues to stand in the way of a solution.
My FINISH IT Act would force to put millions of dollars worth of unused materials to use and finish the wall.

Last year, hundreds of Yazoo Backwater Area residents packed into Rolling Fork’s high school to share how the floods brought hardship. I watched as locals shared their stories and communicated the overwhelming urgency of the situation. #WickerReport

Title 42 is ending, but President Biden is not ready.
His lack of a plan will harm Americans.

I recently spoke with the Republican Main Street Partnership about national security and energy independence. As we face growing threats, it is vital that we think long-term and combat these issues now.

This new plan would not have been possible without federal officials hearing firsthand from the many South Delta residents. I encourage all Mississippians who have been affected, who are interested in this issue, to continue sharing their stories and feedback on this proposal.

It is difficult to see how a drag queen is improving our Navy’s readiness or solving our recruiting crisis. These kinds of divisive social issues have no place in the U.S. military, especially during a time where we need to focus on deterring China.
