U.S. Senator John Cornyn addressed Congress on the progress of implementing President Trump's America First agenda. The focus includes border security, national defense, extending tax cuts, and managing national debt following the passage of budget resolutions by both legislative houses.

Cornyn emphasized the need to concentrate on tangible outcomes rather than procedural details. He criticized current border policies, stating they have led to significant human and drug trafficking issues in Texas and nationwide. Cornyn urged Congress to adopt Trump's border security measures.

He warned that failure to extend Trump-era tax cuts could result in substantial tax increases for American families. Specifically, a family earning $80,000 annually might face a $1,700 tax hike if these cuts expire.

Cornyn also highlighted the importance of controlling spending and debt to combat inflation attributed to what he described as reckless fiscal policies by President Biden and Democratic lawmakers.

He concluded by stressing the significance of implementing Trump's agenda as mandated by voters last November 5th. Cornyn called for action to secure borders, strengthen defense, prevent middle-class tax hikes, and manage national debt effectively.
