Immigration & Border Security

As President Donald Trump gave his first speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday evening, many elected leaders from both Ohio and West Virginia, all Republicans, praised the president’s vision while the Democratic Party in both states said his actions will impact many hard-working Americans.

Trump addressed both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday night in his first joint address since returning to the presidency in January. His speech touched on a number of topics including border security, illegal immigration, tariffs, DOGE, the war in Ukraine and more.

House Appropriations Committee member Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., told Newsmax on Tuesday that he will work with the panel to ensure that President Donald Trump's administration continues to have the resources needed to deport criminal migrants.

"The president was so crystal clear on laying out his America first agenda, and, as it relates to the deportations, we have seen this president move faster in the last week and do more than President Biden did in his entire four years to try to address the border," Moore said on "National Report." "It's not even close. We've seen mass deportations all over this country deporting criminal aliens that are in our country who have committed crimes — rapists, murderers, you name it. I mean, the worst of the worst, and he is making this country safe again.

"I will tell you, as an appropriator on the House Appropriations Committee, I am going to do everything that I can to guarantee President Trump has all the resources he needs to continue these mass deportations," he added.
