House Republicans are hosting a digital fact check and social Q&A GOP.gov/SOTU in response to President Obama’s State of the Union (SOTU) message tomorrow night. Here’s what we have in store and how you can participate:
  • ASK A QUESTION: Starting now, ask your question to House Republicans about the SOTU, GOP plan for jobs, and other key issues on GOP.gov/SOTU or on Twitter using the #SOTUGOP hash tag. Republicans will be responding to questions online after the SOTU and GOP address.

  • DIGITAL FACT CHECK: Tomorrow at 9:00 PM ET, you can watch President Obama’s State of the Union live online at GOP.gov/SOTU. Throughout the address, visitors to the site will have access to real-time fact checks, Tweets, and Facebook posts from House Republicans, and more information about the GOP jobs plan.

  • GOP ADDRESS: Immediately following the president’s State of the Union, we will live stream the Republican Address to the Nation by Governor Mitch Daniels (IN) online at GOP.gov/SOTU.

  • SOCIAL Q&A: After the GOP address, stay tuned on GOP.gov/SOTU as House Republicans answer your questions. You can watch the responses there, on Twitter using #SOTUGOP, and throughout House Republicans’ YouTube, Facebook, and other digital channels.

Republicans will be talking about House-passed bills that would create a better environment for private-sector job growth, and highlighting how the president’s policies have only made our economy worse.

The Associated Press reported today that the number of people trying to illegally enter the U.S. between Oct. 1, 2008 and May 15, 2009 along our border with Mexico has gone down by 27 percent.  For the same period along our northern border, illegal entries were down 13 percent according to Customs and Border Protection officials.  Since we know that many people want to be part of the blessings America has to offer, I think we can attribute these numbers to the hard work of our border patrol agents and to the preventative measures Republicans have worked to put in place on the border. 

We’ve doubled the number of border patrol agents over the last five years and better equipped them to do their job safely.  We’ve built several hundred miles of the border fence, although we still have a ways to go before it’s completed.  But bills like the Secure Fence Act of 2006, of which I was a co-sponsor, have been instrumental in making sure our immigration laws are enforced.
