Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman from Missouri’s 7th district, shared his perspectives on several critical national issues on April 7, 2025. Through his statements, Burlison addressed topics ranging from healthcare, Second Amendment rights, and national security, reflecting his stance on current federal policies.

On April 7, 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison criticized the administration’s handling of Medicaid “Joe Biden wrecked Medicaid, ballooning it into an unsustainable monster during COVID. We need to carve it back to pre-COVID standards and refocus it on the truly needy.”

Later the same day, Burlison commented on gun rights, indicating satisfaction with recent measures concerning the Second Amendment. He expressed, “Gun dealers and law-abiding citizens alike can celebrate this move to roll back the oppressive overreach that’s been suffocating Second Amendment rights for far too long.”

Concluding his remarks for the day, Burlison addressed issues related to border security, stating “Common sense wins. Border security is national security. We must deport illegal terrorists.” This statement underscores his views on immigration enforcement concerning national security.
