We know that Congress needs to enact immigration law reform to restore order to immigration into the United States. Isn’t that what everyone wants?
Last February, a bipartisan group of senators presented a comprehensive immigration law reform bill. The bill was endorsed by the US Border Patrol. Everyone conceded the bill was not perfect, but bills that receive bi-partisan support in Congress rarely are. But what happened to that bill?
Candidate Donald Trump knew if this bill passed, he could no longer stridently insist that the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress were refusing to address and solve the chaos at the border. Since this has been his main rallying cry, the passage of this bill would be a disaster for his presidential campaign.
So, Donald Trump insisted that his supporters in Congress, like our District 10Representative Mike Collins, kill the bill. They were only too happy to oblige and refused to consider the bill.
Sonow what? Candidate Trump continues to decry the crisis at the border, falsely claiming the Biden administration and the Democrats in Congress refuse to address the border problem. Unfortunately, some uninformed voters believe Trump’s false narrative. Don’t be one of them.
We need to elect a member of Congress in November who will finally get the job done – for the country’s good. And that is NOT Mike Collins.
