What does the Laken Riley bill "have to do with the wrenching loss of Laken Riley, or really any problem in our dysfunctional immigration system? It doesn’t. It just creates more problems — humanitarian, economic and constitutional." ~Catherine Rampell ❌️ #SenDuckworth, please oppose MAGA & vote NO.
