Congressman Nick LaLota, representing New York’s 1st district since 2023, shared a series of tweets on May 14, 2025, addressing various political issues. LaLota replaced former U.S. Congress member Lee Zeldin and has been actively voicing his opinions on border security, tax reforms, and legislative proposals concerning sanctuary cities.
In a tweet posted at 14:18 UTC, Congressman LaLota criticized former President Biden’s approach to border security while praising the policies implemented during President Trump’s administration. He stated that “the results of President Trump’s policies—enforcing the law, reinstating Remain in Mexico, and cracking down on illegal migration and deadly drugs—are crystal clear and effective.”
Later that day at 16:47 UTC, LaLota expressed support for New Jersey Congressman Tom Kean’s efforts regarding state and local tax (SALT) deductions. He referred to Kean as a “Majority Maker” whose district requires a SALT fix. LaLota emphasized their joint effort to pass what he called the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
At 17:20 UTC, LaLota voiced his backing for Representative Finstad’s “Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act.” The act would compel New York City leaders to choose between maintaining their sanctuary policies or keeping their Small Business Administration (SBA) office. According to LaLota, “They shouldn’t get both.”
Nick LaLota was born in Bay Shore, New York in 1978 and currently resides in Amityville.
