The congressman touted the president’s actions on the economy, immigration, cutting waste in government, and foreign policy.

“I am proud to report that under President Trump’s leadership, our nation’s southern border is more secure than it has been in decades,” Aderholt said. “Illegal crossings have plummeted to levels we haven’t seen in years, sending a strong message that our laws will be enforced, and our national security will be protected.”

According to Customs and Border Patrol, encounters at the border are down 99%. Aderholt said the numbers are proof that Trump is keeping his promises.

“The President has also taken decisive action to remove violent illegal aliens who have been living unlawfully in our communities,” he argued. “For the last four years, cartels and other foreign bad actors took advantage of the previous administration’s weak leadership and failed immigration policies — causing pain and suffering for the American people. By prioritizing the safety of American citizens, law enforcement is now working tirelessly to identify and deport those who threaten our neighborhoods and our way of life. This renewed commitment by the Trump Administration to upholding the rule of law is making our country safer every day.”

Aderholt also praised Republicans in Congress who are working to pass Trump’s agenda.

“Here in Congress, we are working hand-in-hand with President Trump to pass a budget that truly reflects the priorities of the American people,” he said. “Our focus is on lowering taxes for hardworking families and small businesses, while also cutting unnecessary and wasteful government spending. This budget is designed to promote economic growth, protect essential services, and honor the trust of the taxpayers who fund our government. The House is working diligently, and we aim to pass a comprehensive budget reconciliation plan by the end of May — a critical step toward restoring fiscal responsibility and securing a brighter future for generations to come.”

Overall, Aderholt thinks the president is working to “Make America Great Again.”

“Finally, President Trump has made it unmistakably clear to the world that the days of America’s goodwill being taken for granted are over. Whether friend or foe, other nations now understand that America is strong, determined, and will always put the interests of its citizens first. It’s a refreshing and welcome change that I fully support as we continue working to make America great again.”
