Republicans on Capitol Hill are already excited about the Trump administration’s latest tactic for saving government money: Offering undocumented immigrants $1,000 to “self-deport.”

The administration on Monday unveiled a plan to offer undocumented immigrants the stipend in exchange for proof that they plan to leave the country. In addition, the administration is offering to help with travel costs. Administration officials argue that the total cost of the program would amount to savings for taxpayers, compared with the cost of government officials forcibly detaining and deporting individuals.

U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-9, Jackson Twp., said President Donald Trump’s tariffs can correct trade inequalities and bring back manufacturing jobs — goals that trade agreements also might accomplish.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his much-anticipated reciprocal tariffs on more than 180 countries designed to reset global trade and return manufacturing to the United States. While many financial experts have reacted with skepticism, Rep. Dan Meuser told Newsmax on Thursday that the tariffs were necessary as the world markets "needed a reckoning. We needed a correction, and President Trump is bringing it." 

Congressman Dan Meuser has announced his office's 2025 Congressional Art Competition, which calls on high school artists from the 9th Congressional District (Bradford, Columbia, Lebanon, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties, plus parts of Berks, Luzerne, and Lycoming counties) to submit their best work.

Some people are frustrated with their elected representatives, saying they want more in-person town halls to voice their concerns. Congressman Dan Meuser is one of those officials, and he says he plans to continue holding them.

Congressman Dan Meuser has joined Congresswoman Hillary Scholten of Michigan to revive H.R. 2066, the Investing in All of America Act. This piece of legislation is aimed at increasing capital available to small businesses, especially ones located in rural and low-income areas, manufacturers, and critical technology businesses.
