Rep. Diana Harshbarger, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 1st district since 2021, shared several statements on social media regarding immigration and her pro-life stance. The congresswoman, who succeeded Phil Roe in office, is known for her firm positions on these issues.

On January 24, 2025, Rep. Harshbarger expressed her views on the 14th Amendment by stating that its "intent was not to be a loophole for illegal immigration." This comment reflects ongoing debates about constitutional interpretations related to citizenship and immigration policy. "The intent of the 14th amendment was not to be a loophole for illegal immigration."

Later that day, she acknowledged former President Donald Trump's actions concerning immigration enforcement. She noted that Trump was "rounding illegal aliens up by the hundreds every day," suggesting that he was fulfilling his campaign promises related to border security and immigration control. "President Trump is rounding illegal aliens up by the hundreds every day. Promises made, promises kept."

In another statement on January 24, Rep. Harshbarger celebrated her A+ rating from a prominent pro-life organization while expressing support for ongoing efforts to protect life post-Roe v. Wade overturning. She emphasized that despite the legal changes, "the fight to protect life is over!" This sentiment underscores her commitment to pro-life advocacy and legislation in Congress."I’m proud to have an A+ record for my pro-life voting record from @sbaprolife, and seeing thousands marching for life today warms my heart... Just because Roe was overturned doesn’t mean the fight to protect life is over!"
