Rep. Jodey Arrington

Remember, the American people have spoken. They want a strong country, competent leaders, common sense policies, and a commitment to putting America and Americans First. Let's give the people what they voted for.

The Constitution is clear: states do not have to be passive victims of a failed federal government. My Texas Republican colleagues and I are urging Congress to pass H.Res.50 and ensure the Lone Star State is never again subjected to the open-border lawlessness we endured for four years under Biden.

As a father of three daughters who compete in sports, protecting their opportunities on and off the field is of the utmost importance to me. Title IX has been a cornerstone of fairness for women and girls for over five decades, and the Title IX Clarification Act by @RepArrington ensures that promise endures for the next generation. Proud to support this effort to ensure female athletes compete on a level playing field.

TX House Members: "The security of our border and the safety of our communities cannot depend solely on who occupies the White House. Fortunately, the Constitution provides a remedy that ensures states are not left defenseless if and when future administrations attempt to return us to open-border policies."

Biden’s border policies wreaked havoc on Texas and left us to foot the bill. Never again. The Texas GOP Caucus is taking a firm stand: we will not be left defenseless if future administrations try to repeat these open-border policies. I fully support @RepArrington’s House Resolution 50! arrington.house.gov/news/documents…

Texas should never again be forced to bear the consequences of Washington’s failed open-border policies. Proud to join my Texas Republican colleagues in urging Congress to pass H.Res.50 and ensure our great state is never again subjected to the open-border lawlessness we endured for four years under Biden. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Because the Biden administration refused to secure our borders, Texas was forced to spend $11 BILLION on Operation Lone Star to defend our own communities. I am proud to join @RepArrington and the Texas GOP Caucus to ensure states are never left defenseless again. I will always fight for the safety of the great state of Texas. foxnews.com/politics/texas…

Title IX was created to provide equal opportunity for our daughters, not to push a radical gender ideology that jeopardizes their safety. My Title IX Clarification Act stops the abuse of Title IX by affirming a simple truth: there are only two sexes - male and female - and taxpayer dollars should not be used to advance extreme social policies. I’m proud to lead this effort to protect opportunities for women and girls, rein in bureaucratic overreach, and restore clarity and common sense to federal law. arrington.house.gov/news/documents…

The security of our border and the safety of our communities cannot depend solely on who occupies the White House. Fortunately, the Constitution provides a remedy that ensures states are not left defenseless if and when future administrations attempt to return us to open-border policies. More than 20 Texas Republicans in Congress joined me in the @dallasnews calling on Congress to pass my H.Res.50 to reaffirm the constitutional balance between the federal government and the states and ensure that Texas is never again forced to bear the consequences of Washington’s failures without the ability to fully defend its communities.

The right of a state to defend its people is not a novel theory – it is one the Framers explicitly provided for in the Constitution. That is why I introduced H.Res.50, a resolution endorsed by every Texas Republican in Congress and supported by a broad coalition of policy leaders, legal scholars, and law enforcement officials across the country. It affirms the constitutional authority of states to defend themselves and clarifies Congress’s understanding of when that authority applies. We’ve seen the consequences of a federal government that abdicates its first and most important responsibility – providing for the common defense – and, if the past is prologue, we know exactly what we can expect from future Democrat administrations that want to take us back. We have a responsibility to act now. The American people gave Republicans unified control of Washington, and Congress has the opportunity to ensure that states like Texas are never again forced to be passive victims of a failed federal government. We must meet this moment with the urgency it demands.

Texas paid for Biden's border crisis. Republicans must make sure it never happens again. Read my latest @FoxNews opinion on why we must meet this moment with the urgency it demands and pass my H.Res.50. arrington.house.gov/news/documents…

"Texas GOP House members: What we must do to keep the border secure" Read our new @dallasnews opinion on why Congress must clarify states' ability to protect themselves. arrington.house.gov/news/documents…

Under the Biden Administration, Texas paid $11 billion because the federal government failed to secure the border. That can never happen again. The Texas GOP Caucus is backing @RepArrington's House Resolution 50—legislation that affirms states' constitutional right to defend themselves when Washington won't act. Congress must act now to make sure Texas is never left defenseless again.

Reese Hamsmith’s life and legacy continue to save lives. After Reese tragically passed away from swallowing a button battery, her mother, Trista, turned unimaginable grief into a mission to protect other children. I was honored to help lead Reese’s Law in Congress to strengthen safety standards for button batteries, including clearer warning labels, child resistant packaging, and more secure placement in products. Thank you to @KCBD11 for sharing Trista’s story and Reese’s Purpose. Because of this West Texas mom on a mission, children across America will be safer.

Texas spent $11 billion during Operation Lone Star defending its own border because the Biden admin refused to do its job. I'm glad to stand with @RepArrington and my Texas colleagues on this resolution affirming that states have the constitutional right to repel a border invasion. Texans should never again have to bear the cost of a federal government that fails to secure the border.

“I'm telling you, we're going to get a third reconciliation. We're going to keep advancing the America First agenda. We're going to keep delivering on what the American people sent us here to do.” -Chairman @RepArrington

The Biden Administration opened our borders and allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into our country. States like Texas did everything in their power to protect their people from the Biden Border Invasion. Proud to join my Texan colleagues in supporting a resolution that affirms states' Constitutional right to defend their borders when the federal government fails to act. foxnews.com/politics/texas…
