Representative Mike Ezell

Dear [salutation],

I've spent this last week in the district meeting with leaders, small business owners, and public servants across South Mississippi.

Here are some of the highlights:

Supporting Local Law Enforcement

I sat down with Biloxi Police Chief John Miller to discuss how Congress can better support local law enforcement agencies.

Chief Miller and his team do a great job of serving the people of Biloxi. As their Congressman and a career law enforcement officer myself, I'll always support the men and women who risk their lives to keep our communities safe.

One of the things Chief Miller and I discussed was how House Republicans' border plan includes funding to help local law enforcement agencies take on illegal drugs that flow from our southern border into communities across the United States (more on that later).

Cutting Bureaucratic Red Tape

On Tuesday, I met with the team at MP Design Group. They shared horror stories of how bureaucracy and overregulation has slowed construction on projects that would be huge for our local and state economies.

It's a story that I've heard throughout the district: Washington bureaucrats are making it harder for Mississippi entrepreneurs and companies to thrive. That's why I've been pushing back against the Biden Administration.

With other House Republicans, I've fought to cut red tape and get our economy moving. We've voted to unleash American energy, roll back Biden's radical land-grab, and rein in the power of unelected bureaucrats—and we're just getting started.

Tackling Biden's Border Crisis

With Title 42 set to expire next week, it's crucial that we pass an immigration and border bill ASAP.

My Homeland Security colleagues and I introduced the Border Reinforcement Act last week, which was combined with an immigration bill to form H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act.

House Republicans' plan would finish the wall, hire 22,000 new Border Patrol agents, end "catch and release" policies, and expand grants for local law enforcement agencies fighting illegal drugs.

Democrats' immigration policy is deeply unserious, and they don't seem to have a plan for the southern border at all. Now, they've shifted to fudging the numbers to make President Biden look better. Just this week, the White House Press Secretary made the ridiculous claim that illegal immigration was down by over 90%.

The truth? Under this administration, the cartels are in control of our southern border, Border Patrol agents aren't being supported, and we've set record highs in illegal immigration.

It's a humanitarian nightmare, and Democrats' open-border policies are to blame.

Next week, I'll be back in Washington to continue fighting for our values. I'm hoping to pass H.R. 2 and several other pieces of legislation. For more frequent updates, please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

As always, if you need help with a federal agency or have questions about legislation, please call one of the offices listed below or contact us on our website at ezell.house.gov.

It is an honor and a privilege to represent you in Congress.

Sincerely,

Mike Ezell
