“Any alien or naturalized citizen who comes to the United States to defraud American taxpayers does not deserve to be here,” said Rep. Carter. “Tim Walz’s socialist Minnesota allowed both immigration and social programs to run unchecked, resulting in $9 billion worth of fraud that directly harms Minnesotans' access to childcare, nutrition, and other programs and may have funded terrorist activity overseas. Every immigrant involved in these schemes should be deported, and I thank Senator Blackburn for her leadership to ensure we welcome folks with integrity, not criminals.”

“Anyone who comes to the United States and steals from American taxpayers by committing fraud should be deported,” said Senator Blackburn. “The fraud schemes we have seen in Minnesota and across the country are a betrayal of hardworking American taxpayers, and individuals like the Somali scammers in Minnesota should be subject to both deportation and denaturalization for these crimes. The Fraud Accountability Act would hold these criminals accountable for robbing American taxpayers.”

“The rampant and unprecedented fraud uncovered in Minnesota involving Somali-run childcare centers and nonprofits is unconscionable, and Governor Walz’s complete deflection of any responsibility for this massive theft of U.S. taxpayer dollars under his watch is cowardly but unsurprising,” said Senator Cornyn. “Anyone who attempts to get rich at the expense of American taxpayers should be ashamed and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and I’m proud to introduce this bill with Senator Blackburn to ensure any illegal alien who is convicted of fraud faces swift deportation for their flagrant abuse of taxpayer funds.”

“It’s completely unacceptable to waste Arkansas taxpayer dollars on fraudulent government programs,” said Senator Cotton. “Any alien who commits fraud against American taxpayers should be deported immediately.”

“North Carolina taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill for blatant fraud schemes across the country,” said Senator Budd. “If government programs using taxpayer dollars are not run responsibly, we must ensure those who steal taxpayer dollars are held accountable.”

“Zero mercy should be shown to illegal aliens who not only defy our laws by unlawfully entering the country but also take it a step further to drive drunk, threatening American lives,” said Sen. Cornyn. “By strengthening current immigration law to hold these offenders accountable, our bill sends a clear message: If you enter the country illegally and harm innocent citizens, we will find you, we will punish you, and we will make sure you never step foot on American soil again.”

“We can’t have a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system without clear rules that prevent dangerous criminals from remaining in our country. Drunk driving that results in severe injury or death is a serious and dangerous crime. Individuals who put lives at risk and endanger our communities should be held accountable,” said Sen. Gallego.

“This legislation closes a legal loophole that has prevented and would continue to prevent law enforcement from protecting Americans,” said Sen. Cruz. “It will directly contribute to making our communities safer, and I urge my colleagues to advance it without delay.” 

“Driving under the influence of intoxicating substances can have serious life or death consequences, and any illegal alien who chooses to get behind the wheel in such a state should not remain in our country. I am proud to stand with Senator Cornyn and my colleagues to ensure that illegal aliens who commit such crimes are deported from and inadmissible to the U.S.,” said Sen. Budd.

“Illegal immigrants who drink and drive put innocent American lives at risk and should face serious consequences, including deportation,” said Sen. Tillis. “This legislation strengthens our laws to close dangerous loopholes and ensure those who commit serious criminal offenses are swiftly removed from our country.”

“The Trump administration is sending a clear signal to all criminal illegal aliens: you are not welcome in the United States,” said Sen. Lummis. “Too many American lives have been taken because illegal immigrants who should never have been in our country were driving under the influence on our roads. I am proud to support Senator John Cornyn’s legislation that puts public safety first, ends the cycle of excuses for criminal behavior, and ensures that illegal immigrants convicted of DUI are removed.”

“It’s bad enough to commit a crime by crossing our border illegally—but it’s beyond inexcusable for illegal immigrants to put innocent people in harm’s way by driving under the influence. We’ve seen far too many American lives cut short by drunk drivers who shouldn’t even be in our country, and we ought to use every tool in our arsenal to make sure these tragedies never happen again. The Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act will ensure illegal immigrants who hurt or kill people by driving under the influence are met with the full force of the law, and I’m proud to help introduce it,” said Sen. Kennedy.

“Driving under the influence and entering the United States illegally are both crimes that pose serious danger to the lives and livelihoods of American citizens. Any illegal who is caught driving drunk is doing both and should be immediately deported and never allowed to re-enter the United States. Our immigration and transportation laws must be enforced,” said Sen. Schmitt.

“People who are not legally present in this country should be removed, especially if they have been convicted of driving under the influence. Federal law should be clear that no illegal alien should ever have a second DUI conviction,” said Sen. Lankford.

“This common-sense measure is long overdue. Too many lives have been lost to reckless, drunk and impaired drivers. We certainly shouldn’t add to that tragic number by allowing illegal aliens to have a pass for endangering drivers on American roads,” said Sen. Mullin. “Illegal aliens convicted of driving drunk and harming our citizens have no place in this country. In fact, these criminals should move to the very FRONT of the deportation line and be on the first flight home. Full stop.”

“The Biden-Harris border crisis allowed for countless unvetted aliens to flood into the country and harm innocent Americans, and I am glad the House has passed my legislation named in honor of Kayla Hamilton to fix this vetting loophole,” said Sen. Cornyn. “We owe it to Kayla and other victims of senseless tragedies to ensure comprehensive background and criminal record checks are conducted on unaccompanied alien children and potential sponsors prior to their placement, and I am glad we are one step closer to ensuring more thorough vetting is the law of the land.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“As dangerous, violent threats and rhetoric rise against our courageous law enforcement officers, it is increasingly important that Congress ensures they have the protection and resources they deserve,” said Senator Britt. “The Black the Blue Act honors their commitment to protecting our families, communities, and nation, and reaffirms our steadfast support for those who risk their lives every day to keep our nation safe.”

“Our law enforcement officers bravely risk their lives daily to protect our communities, and anyone who targets them should be met with the full force of the law, including the death penalty,” said Senator Cornyn. “America was built on the principles of law and order, and this legislation sends a clear message that targeted attacks on law enforcement will not be tolerated, dangerous criminals will be held accountable, and our men and women in blue have our full and unwavering support.”

Sen. Katie Britt, Sen. John Cornyn

“It is past time for the United States to revisit the deficiencies of the Biden administration’s vetting process for Afghan nationals and remedy the resulting egregious security threats such a process created in the United States after the disastrous August 2021 withdrawal.  We urge you to take immediate action to prevent future attacks on American servicemen and citizens,” wrote the Senators.

Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Tom Cotton

“The perpetrator was an Afghan parolee – that has special significance – who entered the country under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program, which was notorious for insufficient vetting of Afghan refugees.”  

“I raised alarm bells about this mass parole of Afghan refugees back in 2024, when I co-led a letter to the Department of Homeland Security Mayorkas, pressing the Biden administration for their inadequate screening processes for Afghan refugees, including some who were later found to have had ties to ISIS.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“In the aftermath of Hamas’ unprovoked attack on Israel two years ago, we’ve seen an alarming wave of antisemitic, pro-terrorist advocacy by foreign visa holders present in the U.S. who seek to do Americans harm,” said Sen. Cornyn. “By broadening the Immigration and Nationality Act, this commonsense legislation would ensure those who support or sympathize with terrorist groups and their affiliates are inadmissible to the United States, and I’m proud to support it.”

“Ever since the horrific terrorist attacks of October 7, we have seen a dramatic rise in pro-Hamas rhetoric across our country, including from international students here on visas. This needs to stop,” said Sen. Budd. “Those seeking to come to the U.S., whether for school, work, or otherwise, and who publicly endorse Foreign Terrorist Organizations, must face consequences for their actions. The Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act will close ambiguous loopholes in our immigration law by prohibiting them from entering our borders.”

Sen. Ted Budd, Sen. John Cornyn

“Why is the Radical Left so intent on protecting illegal aliens over U.S. citizens who are suffering the consequences of violent crime? To me, that is the most important question that remains unanswered.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“Texas’s actions through Operation Lone Star were absolutely vital to ensuring the safety and security of Americans across our great country. However, our State should not have had to bear alone the costs of securing the border when former President Biden intentionally failed to do so. We therefore respectfully ask that, as the Departments prepare to disburse the funds set aside in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the State of Texas be fully reimbursed for the costs incurred to protect Americans from illegal immigration and drug trafficking under former President Biden’s disastrous leadership.”

Sen. Cruz said, “Americans who meet eligibility requirements should be the only ones to receive taxpayer-funded benefits. Under the Biden administration’s border policies, abuse of these programs by illegal aliens increased. This bill will stem that abuse, and I urge my colleagues to pass this bill without delay.”

Sen. Cornyn said, “Illegal aliens who falsify documents, steal identities, and cheat the system to gain public benefits meant for American citizens, including SNAP or Medicaid, should unquestionably be deported. By ensuring any illegal alien who defrauds the U.S. government can be removed from our country, this commonsense legislation would end the America-last policies of Joe Biden and rightfully put Americans first.”

Sen. Lee said, “For too long, illegal aliens have taken advantage of and burdened our bloated welfare system, contributing to waste, fraud, and abuse. By some estimates, these individuals receive $42 billion in public benefits every year. This bill will ensure that illegal aliens who steal the tax dollars of hardworking Americans are subject to deportation. As Democrats put crucial programs like SNAP at risk in a cynical attempt to hold the American people hostage for political gain, it is more important than ever to ensure that public benefits are focused on U.S. citizens and legal residents. Those who invade our country and then abuse our generosity through fraud and theft should be promptly deported.”

Rep. Taylor said, “The last Administration’s open border policies put our communities at risk and made every state a border state. Under President Trump, Republicans are bringing back common sense. If an illegal alien defrauds the United States or steals benefits from our country’s most vulnerable, it should be a no-brainer that they be permanently removed from the United States. Law abiding, hard-working Ohioans should not have their tax dollars stolen by illegal aliens who then walk free in our Nation, and I’m proud to champion this bill in the House as Senator Cruz leads the charge in the Senate.”

“For four disastrous years, the Biden administration skirted our nation’s immigration laws, leading to Kayla Hamilton’s life being cut tragically short by an MS-13 gang member who should have never been released into the United States,” said Sen. Cornyn. “My legislation, which would require the federal government to conduct thorough background and criminal record checks on unaccompanied alien children and potential sponsors prior to their placement, is named in Kayla’s memory and that of the many other victims of heinous crimes committed by illegal aliens.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“I want to begin my remarks this afternoon by reflecting on the tragic shooting at the Dallas ICE facility that happened just last week.”

“This is not the first attack of its kind against the immigration enforcement officials in Texas. In fact, this is the fourth in as many months.” 

“We’re beginning to see, in our country, a level of political violence that is not and should not ever be considered normal.”

“The radical base of the Democratic party seems to be at war with the men and women who actually enforce our laws.”

“Democrats seem to endorse a complete inversion of how a just and ordered society functions. Unfortunately, this is going to require some of our Democratic colleagues to swim against the tide of opinion among their radical base and show some leadership.”

Sen. John Cornyn

"Biden betrayed the American people by his refusal to enforce our immigration laws. But Texas Republicans in Congress refused to stand idly by. I am proud that the Big Beautiful Bill included these important provisions to help right this wrong. The signing of this bill into law marks an important win for the American people, but it is an especially big victory for Texas."

Sen. John Cornyn

“No one seems to want to discuss why we continue to incentivize parents and other relatives to pay criminal organizations large sums of money to smuggle their children into the United States. We have laws on the books now that encourage children to make that treacherous journey through South America to enter the country illegally.” 

Sen. John Cornyn

“The forced return of Uyghurs to the PRC is a shameful violation of human rights, and the United States must be steadfast in calling out those foreign officials who capitulate to Beijing’s coercion,” said Merkley. “The bipartisan Preventing the Forced Return of Uyghurs Act is a strong tool to hold these foreign officials accountable and reaffirm the United States’ role as a global leader on dignity and freedom.”

“The Chinese Communist Party continues to wield its oppressive hand on religious and ethnic minorities, particularly Uyghurs, stripping them of basic human rights and subjecting them to concentration and re-education camps, starvation, torture, and disappearances,” said Cornyn. “Any foreign government official who forcibly returns Uyghurs or members of any religious or ethnic minority group to China – where they would face certain persecution and possibly death – should not be welcome in the United States, and I’m proud to introduce this legislation to prevent those who are complicit from obtaining a visa or any other immigration benefit under our laws.”

Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Jeff Merkley

“Our Democratic colleagues claim to be the party of compassion when it comes to immigration, but they would rather society, and the media, and the Congress turn a blind eye to these victims of criminals who entered the country as a result of open-border policies.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“The State of Florida has stepped up to the plate recently, helping the administration to open a detention facility that’s come to be known as Alligator Alcatraz. I’m hopeful that other states will step up to help in similar ways. If we could find a way to make something like this work in Texas, I would strongly support it, and I’d encourage our Governor, as well as Secretary Noem, to explore the possibility of locating future detention facilities in Texas.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“The Senate’s One Big Beautiful Bill will reverse Biden’s disastrous, manmade crisis at our southern border and restore law and order, along with reimbursing Texas for costs incurred from Operation Lone Star due to the Biden administration’s dereliction of duty,” said Sen Cornyn. “This legislation will fulfill the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail and help ensure our border is secure, our communities are safe, and the American people come first.”

Sen. John Cornyn

"U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) authored the following op-ed on FoxNews.com calling out former President Biden’s failure to secure the southern border and detailing his top reconciliation priority: ensuring the federal government reimburses Texas for the billions it spent on Operation Lone Star when Joe Biden refused to do so."

Sen. John Cornyn

"U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, joined Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) and several of their Senate Republican colleagues in introducing a resolution to commemorate the 101st anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol today.

“It’s an honor to recognize the 101st anniversary of this important agency today, especially with President Trump back in the White House. President Trump has empowered the brave men and women of our Border Patrol to enforce our immigration laws and, as a result, we now have one of the most secure borders in history. As Chairman of Homeland Appropriations, I remain deeply committed to working alongside our law enforcement officers and prioritizing strong border and interior immigration enforcement policies,” said Senator Britt."

“Violent predators who enter our country illegally and brutally murder American citizens should be subject to the death penalty as a consequence of their heinous actions,” said Sen.

Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here."

Sen. John Cornyn

“While his predecessor, Kamala Harris, reluctantly visited the border a mere two times for sanitized photo-ops during her reign as border czar, I commend Vice President JD Vance for making it a priority to come to the Texas-Mexico border during his first six weeks in office.”

“For far too long, the responsibility of enforcing federal immigration laws fell to the State of Texas and its taxpayers—but not anymore. In just weeks, the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration has led to a record low level of attempted illegal border crossings and thousands of arrests of illegal immigrants.”

“President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the entire administration are proving to the American people that they are taking their mandate seriously, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to secure our nation’s borders.”

Sen. John Cornyn

“Nowhere is that success more apparent than when it comes to border security. After four years of record highs, CBP is now facing record lows.”

“As soon as President Trump was elected, even before he took office, the migrant flows began to subside—that’s called deterrence.”

“When President Trump actually took office, apprehensions fell by a staggering 85 percent compared to the same period in 2024.”

“One of the most important consequences of President Trump’s election on November the 5th  was we are now re-establishing border security, and the people of this great country are safer for it.”

“Migrants know that a Trump administration means our laws will be enforced.”

“For almost four years, the Biden-Harris administration has waived their magic amnesty wand to create unlawful programs that allow any and every person to enter and stay in the U.S. – legally or not,” said Sen. Cornyn. “By strengthening the laws already on the books, our legislation would root out this massive pull factor while also preserving the integrity of our employment-based nonimmigrant visa program, and I’m grateful to my colleagues for their support.”

"U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) yesterday led 42 bicameral Republican colleagues in a letter urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to work with Congress to root out abuses in their administration’s unaccompanied migrant children program and stop the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s attempted cover-up of the crisis. More than 500,000 unaccompanied migrant children have crossed the southwest border under the Biden-Harris administration, while cartel trafficking activity surged an estimated 2,500 percent."

"U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Senator John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) legislation the Southern Border Transparency Act passed the Senate. The legislation would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to accurately report how it is handling migrants encountered at the border and ensure the American people have a full, timely accounting of the number of migrants being released into the United States by the Biden Administration."

"U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Susan Collins (R-ME) released the following statements after their Southern Border Transparency Act, which would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to accurately report how it is handling migrants encountered at the border and ensure the American people have a full accounting of the number of migrants being released into the United States by the Biden-Harris administration along with information detailing where they are coming from, passed the Senate unanimously last night:

“The Biden-Harris administration has gone to great lengths to hide the ball when it comes to levels of illegal immigration, but the American people deserve to know exactly how many migrants are being released into the country and exactly on what terms,” said Sen. Cornyn.“This is the most basic of transparency measures – just the facts, that’s all we’re looking for.”
