Washington, D.C. – Maggie Hassan tried hard to pretend to be a MAGA border hawk this past spring and ended up falling flat.
In 2021 ALONE, Hassan voted not once, not twice, but three times against legislation that would continue to fund wall construction at the Southern Border:
But Hassan’s weakness on border security and illegal immigration goes back much further. Hassan has also voted AGAINST the Remain in Mexico policy and in August voted FOR eliminating Title 42, even though she said she supports it. In fact, all the way back in 2008 Hassan voted to kill a bill in the State Senate that would prohibit New Hampshire from acting as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
This summer, Hassan also voted against Sen. Rick Scott’s measure to prioritize hiring Border Patrol agents over IRS auditors, and against Sen. Rob Portman’s measure to fund the detection of illegal narcotics including deadly opioids.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Maggie Hassan has been content to leave our southern border wide open. Not only has the humanitarian crisis been horrifying, but so has the amount of drugs and crime that our open border has brought. Hassan can try to spin the facts all she wants but the record is clear.”
