WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) previewed President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress and highlighted his administration’s successful efforts to reduce illegal immigration in just six weeks after four years of failure under Joe Biden. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

“I look forward to attending the President’s address, and I am happy to welcome my friend, Abraham George, who will join me as a guest tonight.”

“I’m looking forward to hearing the President discuss tonight the incredible strides his administration has made in just about six weeks since his inauguration.”

“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 5^th  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.”
