Rep. Yvette Herrell

To the people of New Mexico's Second District,

Thank you for the opportunity to represent you in the US House of Representatives these last two action-packed years.

I have endeavored to defend your values, stand up for veterans and first responders, secure our borders, and be a voice for the ranchers, farmers, energy producers, and small businesses who keep our communities running.

During my time in Congress, I've had the privilege of meeting and working with countless great patriots in New Mexico, people who are willing to fight for freedom and prosperity.

These courageous men and women remain strong in hard times and don't care about what the media or the Washington Establishment says--as long as they're on the side of truth and justice.

These patriots are moms and dads, employees and business owners, police and military; some bring the great wisdom and experience of many years, and others have the youthful energy we need to carry the banner of liberty forward to the next generation.

All will play a part in saving our great nation.

That is why, as I depart Washington and head home to the plains and mountains we know so well, I know the future is in good hands, no matter what challenges lie ahead.

Serving the hardworking families of New Mexico has been my greatest honor, and I'm not done yet.

Sincerely,

Yvette Herrell

May God bless you and your families on this sacred day, may He give peace and prosperity to our country, and may He protect those who protect us every day.

Merry Christmas!

If Border Patrol agents from America's own front lines presented Nancy Pelosi with a US flag, would that prompt her to send a billion dollars to protect our sovereignty? Why does she only care about the borders of other countries?

The corrupt Biden administration asks SCOTUS to get rid of Title 42 border protections--AFTER December 27th, so they can push the crisis into next year & blame House Republicans.

Biden knows he's creating a disaster, he's just fiddling with the timing.

Biden administration asks chief justice to allow Title 42 to end The Biden administration on Tuesday asked Chief Justice John Roberts to rule against 19 GOP-led states that initiated court action to keep the controversial Title 42 policy in place. The administra…

THANK YOU to the Supreme Court for keeping Title 42 border health protections in place... for now.

Border communities are being overwhelmed by illegal immigration. Joe Biden's refusal to enforce the law has caused unprecedented human misery.

We must restore our borders!

Supreme Court temporarily pauses lifting Title 42 border restrictions: Texas, DHS react The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42, the pandemic-era immigration policy that expelled migrants at the border out of health concerns.

I'm thrilled to receive the inaugural Pioneer for Prosperity award from Americans for Prosperity!

It has been my greatest honor to fight for the hardworking families of New Mexico--and I'm not going to be stopping anytime soon!

If Mitch McConnell worked as hard with Democrats to secure the border as he does to spend YOUR money, our country would be in much better shape.

American families don't deserve more out of control spending in a lame duck session.

December spending gloom falls on GOP: 'I’m so disgusted' Republicans are divided over whether to land a year-end spending deal, taking it off the plate of next year's divided party and potential Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

A complete disaster and dereliction of duty by President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas. Our border communities are being overwhelmed.

Migrant caravan of more than 1,000 crosses illegally into El Paso, Texas, video shows Video obtained by Fox News shows the moment a migrant caravan of more than 1,000 people crossed into El Paso, Texas, where the Border Patrol currently has over 5,000 people in custody.

FDR:

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United Statesand his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.

Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.

Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.

Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island.

And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

Joe Biden won’t even acknowledge this is a problem.

Over 73,000 'gotaways' at southern border in November, highest ever recorded There were more than 73,000 illegal immigrants that managed to evade Border Patrol agents in November, believed to the highest number ever recorded at the southern border.

May all Americans be blessed with peace and friendship this Thanksgiving.

And may God bless the families of New Mexico, especially the hardworking men and women who put food on the table, trucks on the road, and boots on the ground.

Right on. America cannot thrive when our borders are controlled by people who hate American sovereignty and preside over an historic humanitarian crisis. Mayorkas should resign or be impeached.

McCarthy calls on Mayorkas to resign or potentially face impeachment inquiry: 'Enough is enough' House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy says Republicans plan will move to impeach Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas if he does not resign when Republicans take the House next year.
