NumbersUSA gave Barr their top, A+ grade, which only seven House members received.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve been with President Trump every step of the way to secure our border,\u201d said Congressman Barr. \u201cFrom funding the wall, to leading the defense of his authority to build the wall in court, to voting for the largest surge in resources to DHS in history. I\u2019ll keep working with President Trump, Secretary Noem, and Tom Homan to make our border more secure than ever.\u201d\n\n\u201cAndy Barr has a 100% A + rating on NumbersUSA\u2019s grade card,\u201d said Mike Hough, co-President of NumbersUSA. \u201cThis grade shows that Rep. Barr is a leader in Congress for border security and enforcing our nation\u2019s laws. He is championing our priorities: limiting birthright citizenship, ending chain migration and the visa lottery, and stopping asylum abuse. We are fortunate to have great leaders like Andy working to enact tougher immigration laws in Congress.\u201d\n\nJust during this session of Congress, Congressman Barr voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocated $170B to secure the border. He also has introduced a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit the children of illegal immigrants from obtaining birthright citizenship. Just last week, he and Senator Tom Cotton introduced a bill to crack down on liberal states giving illegal immigrants commercial driver\u2019s licenses that have led to the deaths of some Americans in recent weeks.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barr.house.gov/press-releases?ID=932CF123-30E5-414E-88B6-34F273B0FFBF"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8755610324442387, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
