Eric Burlison, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 7th district, has expressed his views on immigration and political accountability through a series of tweets. Burlison, who replaced Billy Long in 2023, has previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives and the Missouri Senate.
On March 5, 2025, Burlison criticized Democrat mayors for their approach to immigration. He stated that "Democrat mayors across the nation have paraded illegals into their cities and put politics above the people." He further claimed that these actions have jeopardized American security and noted that @GOPoversight is holding them accountable.
Later on the same day, Burlison referenced a quote from Justice Samuel Alito by stating "To quote Justice Samuel Alito, 'I am stunned.'" This brief statement was shared without additional context or elaboration.
In another tweet posted on March 5, 2025, Burlison targeted Boston’s mayor by saying "Boston’s pro-sanctuary mayor believes there’s no limit to the amount of illegals that her city can accept." He suggested that Democrat mayors are grateful for Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration while maintaining their public stance.
