Breaking News – More than a Quarter of a Million Illegal Aliens Crossed the Southern Border Last Month

America is getting used to the Biden regime’s Friday night news dump, but it doesn’t make it acceptable.  Hoping yet again no one would take notice, the Biden administration released new data late Friday evening showing that nearly 252,000 lawbreakers crossed the southern border last December, including another 17 criminals on the terrorist watchlist.  This is the worst month on record, easily beating November which was also a record.  The border crossings get worse every month because Joe Biden is encouraging these lawbreakers with his failed open border policies. 5.6 million illegal aliens have crossed the border since Biden took office…that we know of.  Another 25% or 1.5 million are deemed “got-aways.”  If that isn’t bad enough, more than 2,400 pounds of deadly fentanyl were seized in December.  So much more is never seized by authorities.  Sadly, fentanyl crossing through the southern border is now estimated to be in 26 states.  It’s not just Biden, democrats in Congress are equally responsible for making the border and country less secure.  From supporting sanctuary cities, sending stimulus checks to illegals, to voting against hiring more border agents, democrats have partnered with Biden on the border crisis.

Gosar Named to Natural Resources and House Oversight and Accountability Committees

Despite efforts by House democrats to silence me, it was announced this week that I would be returning to the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

Arizona’s Ninth Congressional District is rich in natural resources, and I look forward to once again undertaking the important work of the Natural Resources Committee relating to American energy production, mineral lands and mining, fisheries and wildlife, public lands, western drought, wildfires, water, desalination, irrigation and reclamation.

I further look forward to restoring government accountability that has been absent under the Biden regime and it begins with investigating Joe Biden’s support for an invasion along the southern border in which my district is ground zero.  No stone will be left unturned.  That includes investigating the Biden Syndicate being bribed by Ukraine and using fake and undisclosed “rent payments” of $50,000 per month from Burisma in Ukraine, investigating Biden’s illegal handling of sensitive, highly classified documents stashed in his garage next to his Corvette, investigating the Biden administration’s role in bullying social media companies to censor free speech, views and news on platforms, and weaponizing the DOJ, FBI and the ATF to go after their political opponents.

I am thankful to be working for Americans with my colleagues on these committees and in collaboration with Speaker McCarthy.  The House Republican majority has already hit the ground running and I am ready to get started with the important work of providing Americans the solutions, transparency, and accountability they deserve.

Gosar Receives Perfect Pro-life Ratings

This week, I received a perfect A+ score for 2022, from Students for Life Action for being a strong pro-life champion in Congress.  Click here to learn more about Students for Life Action and compare how other elected officials were rated.

Also, this week I received an A rating from the Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America national scorecard!  This score considers votes and actions for every member of Congress during the 117th Congress.

As we enter the 118th Congress in this new Dobbs era, the cause of life will require continued boldness and unity.  You can be assured that I will always stand strong for pro-life values and be a voice for the voiceless.

It’s Mail Time! 

I receive a lot of mail.  Most who write, even if they disagree, are always polite and respectful.  On occasion, however, some are down-right nasty.  Here’s a sample of some of the nasty letters I received this week:

Diane B. from Green Valley screams:

It’s disheartening Rep. Gosar to be from the great State of Arizona (for the past 45 years) and constantly be reminded of the parallel universe where you reside with Biggs, Lesko, Fincham (sic) etc (sic). Truly unfortunate we Republicans lost Senator McCain just when we needed him the most! According to The Arizona Daily Star, you are now targeting Gen. Milley as a traitor! We all know who believes in conspiracy theories, and who supported the treacherous acts committed on January, 6th, 2021!

In the same paper this morning there is an in-depth article about our Military Service families (those who are low-ranking) and how their pay and allowances leave them without funds to provide food for their families. A more prudent use of your time would be to put some effort into solving that problem. Outrageous that any of our military families would find themselves in those circumstances.

Of course, this correspondence will immediately find its way to the round file, but makes me feel better that I have expressed my views!

Diane, First – if you are getting your news from the Arizona Daily Red Star you are being fed misinformation and disinformation with every article.  No true Republican still reads their nonsense. 

Second – as for our military families not affording food, maybe you should have thought of that before supporting $100 billion of our tax money to Ukraine.  Or perhaps you should have thought of that before supporting tens of billions being spent on illegal aliens to house them, feed them, school them, provide them medical care and incarcerate them.

Third – maybe you should have thought of that before you voted for Biden. His record-breaking inflation has wrecked our economy in two years.   It’s not just military families that are struggling.  It’s all families. 

I am America First.  I would love to devote more money to our own people.  I want higher benefits for Social Security.  I want more roads, schools and infrastructure here—not in Afghanistan, Ukraine or other places.  

Voting for democrats like Biden has real consequences.  You need to look in the mirror and know you helped to create the very problems about which you are complaining. 

Final thought – Gen. Milley has engaged in treasonous behavior in my view.  He collaborated with the Chinese military without authority to do so. He literally went behind the back of the Commander in Chief and told the Chinese he would disclose our military operational plans.  This is a treasonous offense.  He also conspired with Nancy Pelosi to forcibly remove a sitting President.  This too is treason.  We will investigate this in Congress.  No military officer has the right to engage in insubordinate behavior like this. 

Roger S. from Tucson writes:

Representative Gosar,
Your erratic, ego-driven actions as a representative from Arizona embarrasses all citizens of our state. Happily, your silly behavior fuels the steady growth of democrats in Arizona and the steady shift from illogical, conspiracy-driven politicians to stable, adult, positive politicians like Senator Kelly and Governor Hobbs.

Roger – Katie Hobbs was convicted twice of being a racist towards black people in a court of law.  She recently locked herself in a bathroom and ran away from a black journalist who was simply trying to ask a question. Roger, let me be clear: I am against racism in all forms. You are free to support racists, but I will not. 

Jose R. from Goodyear yells:

New congressional boundaries now include me in your district. I have followed your antics on the house floor including you introducing a new set of electors on January 6, 2020. I have come to know that you are a white supremist (sic) and bring discredit to the House of Representatives and those of us living in your district. Have you no decency or self-respect?? (Sic) As a veteran of the U.S. Army, I find your comments about General Milley as a “traitor” disgraceful. You need to look in the mirror and view that you are the traitor to the constitution (sic). 

Jose – I did not introduce “new electors” on January 6.   Stop watching CNN.  I filed an objection under the Electoral Count Act.  As did Pelosi in 2017.  There is a big difference.  My actions were legal, and the democrat-run January 6th Committee fully vindicated me.  If the hate filled democrats can’t find fault with me no one can. 

As a former military man, I find your support of Gen. Milley to reflect poorly on you and question your understanding of the chain of command. Milley was acting illegally when sharing secrets with the Chinese and plotting the overthrow of the President. 

You call me a “White supremacist.”  This label has been thrown at all White people who stand for law and order, equality under the law, fairness in government and business, and open and free speech.  I will not be intimidated by such malicious name calling.  Not once in my life have I ever advocated that White people are “supreme” in any manner.  I respect all people and cultures and embrace our differences. 

As for your comment about dishonoring the Constitution, there is no one in Washington, D.C. who respects and honors the Constitution more than me. I have received awards and recognition for my strict adherence to the Constitution.  I will rest on my record. 

P.S. Welcome to my congressional district. I will continue to assist all who need assistance and be their voice of reason in the House. 

Mark O. from Prescott Valley opines:

Hey Gosar, quit being an idiot, I can’t wait to vote you out of office, you are pretty much just a noisemaker, yeah, you know the rest of them, blah blah, leave the military alone,  you didn’t even serve, just took and took.

Mark, sorry to disappoint you but you can’t vote me out.  Ever. 

As for the military, I fight to have it defend America.  Not Ukraine.  Not Afghanistan. Not Iraq.  I would have opposed our involvement in Vietnam.  There is no reason our military men and women need to die in foreign lands that have no U.S. interest. 

We have spent over $2 trillion on endless wars in the last 21 years.  Money we could have used for our schools and hospitals in America.  Or, we could have lowered our tax rates. I support our military by making sure they defend America.  Not other lands. 

If your reference is to the traitor Milley (who has injected his homosexual preferences into the military with drag shows on board ships and other goofy nonsense) see my comments above.  He should be court martialed.  If we don’t throw our subversive military officers out we risk treason and military losses.
