“After five years in the Senate, and on the committee whose job it is to oversee U.S. border security and immigration policy, she has never sponsored a bill regarding immigration reform or border security.”
Washington, D.C. – Senator Maggie Hassan sits on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is tasked with, among other things, securing our nation’s borders. Unfortunately, Hassan’s record on the committee is abysmal. Last week, Hassan called a press conference – but not to address the unfolding crisis on the Southern Border, rather, to attack Governor Chris Sununu.
Can Homeland Security’s Hassan Hide From Border Crisis?
By: Michael Graham
As thousands of illegal immigrants pushed across the U.S. border in Del Rio, Texas, Sen. Maggie Hassan, an influential member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee participated in a press conference to excoriate… Gov. Chris Sununu.
Over the state’s Executive Council voting to cancel contracts with three Planned Parenthood clinics.
“The vote last week was an outrageous vote,” Hassan said.
The next day, as Americans watched horrific images of children sweltering in the 100-degree heat near an overpass in Texas and overwhelmed Border Patrol agents struggled to defend the border, Hassan was in a Homeland Security Committee hearing grilling DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas… over the Canadian border.
Hassan wanted to know why Canadians can fly into the U.S. regardless of vaccination status, but not drive.
“I do not understand the public health rationale here at all for closing the northern border to vehicular traffic when it is essentially open to air traffic,” Hassan said.
This even as tens of thousands of migrants, with no COVID-19 testing or proof of vaccination status, have been released by Mayorkas’ agents into the U.S.
