Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Iowa’s 1st district since 2021, shared her thoughts on the "One Big Beautiful Bill" through a series of tweets. These posts highlight various aspects of the bill and its implications for border security and other national priorities.

On July 10, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks stated that "The One Big Beautiful Bill restores law and order at the southern border and puts border security agents back in charge." This suggests a focus on reinforcing border management through legislative measures.

Later that day, she criticized President Joe Biden's immigration policies by asserting that "Joe Biden let over 10 million illegal immigrants flood our country." She further praised the bill for its role in securing borders and enhancing surveillance technology to combat issues like fentanyl trafficking and human trafficking.

In a subsequent tweet on July 10, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks announced the enactment of the legislation: "The One Big Beautiful Bill is signed, sealed, and law of the land." She highlighted its broader impacts beyond border security, including tax cuts, protection for farmers, and initiatives to boost American energy production.

Miller-Meeks has served as a congresswoman since replacing Dave Loebsack in 2021. Her background includes previous service in the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2021. Born in Herlong, California in 1955, she currently resides in Le Claire.
