Rep. Jody Hice: Time is up, let's build the wall

Serving in “the people’s house,” my fellow representatives and I have a particularly direct charge: As the closest federal branch to the public, we in particular should reflect the will of the public in our actions.

While some important progress has been made in the past two years under the leadership of President Trump and a unified Republican government, like the historic overhaul of our tax system with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we have also dragged our feet, and there’s still a lot to deliver on other key campaign promises.

Republicans lost the House in November because our actions during the 115th Congress did not reflect the words we spoke when we campaigned during the 2016 election cycle. With only a handful of legislative business days left on the books, we have one final chance to live up to the promise that we made to the parents, small business owners, blue collar workers, farmers, teachers, and ordinary people who helped us gain control in the first place.

Simply put, it’s time to build the wall.

  1. The last paragraph of his letter, sums it all up:

    The time for half measures is gone. The time for anything other than doing what we said is over. This is the last chance we have to change the status quo. If not now, then we will be squandering yet another opportunity under our unified government, while breaking the trust of the forgotten men and women who we promised to represent — perhaps for good.

    Rep. Jody Hice, a Republican, represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District. He is a member of the board of the House Freedom Caucus

    BRAVO Sir, Bravo.

    But, Will they get up off their collective ASSes and do something? Time HAS RUN OUT on these TOADS. I am SICK of their lies, their kicking the can down the road, their delays, and ALL THE PITIFUL EXCUSES. The majority of them don't represent US. Only a handful of them can be trusted and even they are sketchy, IMHO.

      Been scratchin' my head on all the wall pushback...to include by some dems who supported it a little over 10 years ago.

      Then I got ta thinkin' after watching the latest season of "Narcos" on Netflix.

      What if the same suitcases of cash that turned Mexican politicians at the highest levels by the cartels...

      ...had already been taken by ours in the last ten years?

      Hmmm.
