WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement on President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress:

“Tonight, President Trump laid out his vision to renew the American dream, which he is already putting into action at an unprecedented pace. In just over six weeks, the President has made historic strides to reduce illegal immigration, cut waste and fraud, get our economy back on track, and restore American dominance on the world stage. Nowhere is this success more apparent than our southern border, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection are reporting record low crossings. That’s called deterrence, and Texans are safer for it.

“President Trump delivered a message of peace, prosperity, and strength in tonight’s address, which was a welcome change after four years of failure and weakness under Joe Biden. I look forward to continuing to work alongside President Trump and my colleagues in Congress to enact his America First agenda and fulfill his promises to the American people.”

Sen. Cornyn has voted to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees in both his first and second administrations, including Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary, Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, and Kash Patel as FBI Director. Additionally, Sen. Cornyn supported the Laken Riley Act, the first bill to be signed into law in President Trump’s second term, which included his amendment to require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain illegal immigrants who assault a member of law enforcement. He is also a member of the Senate Budget Committee and the Senate DOGE Caucus, where he is focused on rooting out fraud and reining in spending.
