Cortland County, NY -- Congressman Marc Molinaro penned a letter to the editor published in the Cortland Standard calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records.
Cortland Standard
To the Editor:
I am 100% behind the plan to deport criminal illegal immigrants.
It doesn’t have to be complicated: if you have a criminal record and you’re here illegally, you should be deported and banned from re-entering the country. These people have no place in America, and yet, Homeland Security estimates there are tens of thousands of thieves, rapists and murderers living among us.
My opponent, DC lawyer Josh Riley, doesn’t care — he has spent most of his career working to throw our borders wide open. He argued for the very policy that allowed all these violent criminals into our country. Riley sued 32 times to dismantle border security laws and refuses to support the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants, putting our communities at risk. On top of that, he’s backing plans that give taxpayer-funded perks like credit cards, housing and Social Security to illegal immigrants, including criminals. It’s infuriating.
I won’t back down. I’m committed to defending upstate New Yorkers from violent criminals, no matter where they come from. It’s time to take our country back, restore law and order, and stop playing politics with people’s safety. I stand with Upstate New Yorkers — not the criminals.
