Rep. Andy Harris, currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Maryland’s 1st district, shared several insights and positions on April 14, 2025, through his Twitter account. A firm stance on immigration and recognition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' project contributions marked his day on social media.

On the subject of immigration, Harris noted a significant decrease in the number of migrants traversing the jungle to reach the United States via Central America. He observed, "The number of migrants trying to reach the US through the jungle to Central America plunged 99%. That’s down nearly 37,000 from last year. Reminder: We didn’t need NEW immigration laws. We needed to enforce the laws we already had." Harris conveyed this on April 14, 2025.

Later that same day, Harris reiterated his position on the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, asserting the necessity for such actions to ensure community safety. He expressed, "It’s time to deport all criminal illegal aliens to keep our communities safe." This statement was tweeted at 15:39:32 UTC.

Moving from immigration to local developments, Harris acknowledged the efforts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. On April 14, 2025, he thanked Col. Pera and his team for their briefing at Easton Airport, stating, "Thank you Col. Pera, and your team from Army Corp., for the briefing today at Easton Airport. From Ocean City to Taylors Island, the Town of North East and beyond, USACE projects are vital to the economy and ecology of the Eastern Shore." The work of the Corps is acknowledged for its impact on both economic and ecological fronts in the Eastern Shore region.

Andy Harris has represented Maryland's 1st District in the U.S. Congress since 2011, after succeeding Frank Kratovil. Prior to Congress, Harris served in the Maryland Senate from 1999 to 2011.
