Illegal Immigration

Illegal Immigration is not just a border issue – it’s a national security, economic, and rule-of-law issue that affects every American community. Tennessee neighborhoods have been dealing with the consequences of Joe Biden’s weak border: strained public services, rising crime tied to gang activity, and unfair competition for American jobs. 

I believe in legal, merit-based immigration systems that put Americans first. That’s why as your Congressman, I’ll Fight to:

• End sanctuary city loopholes and hold local governments accountable.
• Crack down on human trafficking and fentanyl smuggling at the border.
• Stop the abuse of asylum laws that allow cartels to exploit our system. 

Legal immigrants help build this country – but illegal immigration threatens its future. The United States is a nation of laws. If we don’t enforce our borders, we cease to be a sovereign nation. I won’t stand by while that happens.
