Rep. Mark Green, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee's 7th district, recently shared his thoughts on social media regarding agriculture and border security. Green has been serving in Congress since 2019 after succeeding Marsha Blackburn and previously served in the Tennessee Senate from 2013 to 2018.
On March 19, 2025, Rep. Mark Green emphasized the importance of farmers in states like Tennessee, stating that they are "the backbone of the U.S. economy." He acknowledged their daily efforts to ensure that Americans and people worldwide are provided with food and clothing during #NationalAgWeek.
Later that day, he commented on border security statistics, noting a significant decrease in U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions at the Southwest border. According to Green, apprehensions dropped by 94% from February 2024 to the past month, attributing this change to what he termed "The Trump Effect."
