Supports aggressive border enforcement measures including expanded border wall construction, reinstatement of Remain-in-Mexico policies, suspending entry of migrants when DHS cannot detain them, and stronger detention/removal authority for criminal noncitizens. Has sponsored and cosponsored legislation to increase federal and state enforcement powers, require detention until removal for certain offenses, and give states legal standing to sue DHS for perceived enforcement failures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports pro-life policies, stating that life begins at conception and opposing abortion on demand; has publicly opposed expanded abortion funding and policies (including Department of Defense policies) and has voted against pro-abortion-rights legislation. He frames his position as protecting the unborn and preserving conservative values.
Climate & Energy
Opposes aggressive federal greenhouse-gas regulations and regulatory actions that would limit fossil-fuel energy production or increase costs for consumers; advocates expanding domestic energy production (including natural gas and nuclear) and prioritizing energy independence and consumer choice. Supports rolling back or blocking Biden-era emissions and transportation GHG rules while saying renewable sources have a role but cannot be the sole solution.
Public Safety & Guns
