Grand Rapids, Michigan– While Elissa Slotkin attempts to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failed border policies , AFP Action is highlighting the Congresswoman’s own failures to secure the border and protect Michiganders.
- Elissa Slotkin voted against H.R. 2 the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023.
- As a freshman Congresswoman, Slotkin voted to terminate an emergency declaration that would have enabled the construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
- She dismissed the effort to strengthen the nation’s border security as merely “political action on the part of the President.”
AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:
“Now that it’s politically inconvenient, Congresswoman Slotkin is trying to flip the script on her previous stances on immigration. It’s insulting to the Michiganders who have fallen victim to fentanyl while she pays mere lip service to the idea of border security during an election year.
“Believe how she votes, not what she says. Contrast her record with that of former Congressman Mike Rogers. Rogers has always advocated for border security and has the track record to prove it. That’s why he needs to be Michigan’s next Senator.”
