Michael Thomas "Mike" McCaul Sr. (born January 14, 1962) is a member of the United States House of Representatives from Texas. He has served since 2005, and he sits as the Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee.
Despite being a Republican, McCaul has taken RINO and globalist positions on border security and immigration, opposing a border wall along the border with Mexico and supporting cheap foreign labor.[2][3] Conservative supporters of increased border security have called him "No-wall McCaul" due to his weak and globalist border security stances.[4] These weak border security positions effectively blocked McCaul from being asked to join the Trump Administration as the Secretary of Homeland Security.[5]
In late July 2020, McCaul voted to remove Civil War-era statues.[6]
