Michael Clifton Burgess (born December 23, 1950) is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives representing Texas's 26th congressional district.
In 2002, he defeated Scott Armey, the son of House Majority Leader and then-U.S.
Representative Dick Armey, in a primary runoff election.
Prior to his election, he practiced as a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology. Burgess is a member of the congressional Tea Party Caucus, and he has been involved in the debates over health care reform and energy policy.
He opposes abortion, is unsure of the extent of the contribution of human activity to global warming, supports President Donald Trump's restrictions on travel from Muslim-majority countries and refugee immigration, and supports the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Burgess is a strong supporter of President Trump's border policies.
In June 2019 he argued, in response to media reports of around 250 migrant children being kept in unsanitary and inhumane conditions by US officials in a warehouse by the US-Mexico border, that the children were not actually being detained against their will: "You know what? There's not a lock on the door.
Any child is free to leave at anytime, but they don't.
You know why? Because they are well taken care of."
