Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) tonight released the following statement on President Trump's State of the Union address:
"Tonight, the president outlined an ambitious agenda for the year ahead, and I look forward to working on this agenda. I was especially pleased to hear him commit to a defense budget that takes seriously the threats we face, and I strongly support his executive order to keep Guantanamo Bay open. We also need to continue to build on the positive economic momentum building after the tax-cut bill and more sensible regulatory policy, which has meant more jobs and higher wages for Arkansans. And I believe the immigration framework laid out tonight is humane and generous, but also responsible. America is getting back on its feet after eight listless years; let's roll up our sleeves and build on that progress in 2018."
