Senator John Cornyn recently addressed issues related to organized crime, retail theft, and immigration enforcement in a series of posts on July 15, 2025. The tweets focused on concerns about the impact of border policies and legislative decisions regarding law enforcement resources.
In his first post, Cornyn referenced a Senate Judiciary hearing, stating “Important hearing in Senate Judiciary on organized crime and retail theft. With transnational connection and more than 662K illegal immigrants inUS with convictions or criminal charges thanks to Biden open border policies this is part of the criminal workforce.” (July 15, 2025).
In a brief follow-up message posted moments later, Cornyn commented “Can’t have it both ways.” (July 15, 2025).
Addressing Democratic lawmakers’ positions on immigration enforcement funding, Cornyn wrote “Democrats express concerns that immigration enforcement will divert law enforcement and will shortchange resources on this issue. Yet they voted unanimously against additional funding for @ICEgov in the #OBBB” (July 15, 2025).
These statements come as debates continue over federal immigration policy and its relationship to domestic law enforcement efforts. The reference to “#OBBB” pertains to ongoing budgetary negotiations in Congress.
