Congressman McHenry Weekly Update

 


Open Border Policies Are Dangerous

Thanks to the Biden administration’s open border policies there have now been more than 3.1 million illegal immigrant crossings since Biden took office. Under President Biden 42 people on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended at our southern border. What makes this even more alarming is these are only the ones that have been captured by US Customs and Border Protection. Over 2,000 people a day are evading capture. The crisis at the border is threatening American lives.

Discussing Protecting Americans From the Left's Radical Priorities With Glenn Beck


Recently, I joined Glenn Beck on his radio show to discuss my role as the Republican Leader of the House Financial Services Committee. We discussed the Federal Reserve’s move to create a digital dollar and the importance of protecting American's investments from the progressive left’s radical and reckless priorities.

We Need American Energy Independence

Not the Green New Deal


While high gas prices are costing the average American household an extra $2,000 a year, the Biden administration is still committed to their progressive priorities like the Green New Deal. And now, Biden’s anti-energy agenda is jeopardizing our national security with our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) depleted by 40%—a level not seen since 1984. We need American energy independence now, not reckless far-left policies that cause even more pain at the pump.
