The Republican businessman will visit the United States-Mexico border at the Rio Grande Valley Wednesday and Thursday. There, he plans to hear from locals about migrant deaths on private property, damage and safety concerns from human and drug smuggling operations across private property, and anti-crossing efforts like the border wall and a collaboration with the state of Texas to install razor wire on private property.
“I’m headed to the border because Michael Bennet won’t,” O’Dea said at a campaign event Sunday, citing record overdose deaths in 2021. “I’m going down there to find out what is it we can do to help get this border secured so we can quit killing our kids. Fentanyl deaths are over the top right now. We lost 1,900 kids last year to drug overdose here in Colorado. Every state is a border state. It’s coming straight up I-25.”, fueled by fentanyl and methamphetamine.
“This is clearly something that the administration is trying to bury,” Kohli said. “This is an emergency that Congress needs to be treating like an emergency and it’s not.”said the influx at the border is a new phenomenon and unlike historic norms. This influx isn’t driven by undocumented immigrants trying to avoid border patrol, he said. Instead, they are largely people fleeing totalitarian governments and dictatorships in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, he said.
Republicans dont have any policy changes they want to announce out loud so they fall back on “old faithful” scare tactics they know will trigger their bigot base. 🤷🏼♀️ Every. Damn. Time.
Weird, most Texans migrate here in Suburbans when it starts to snow. You see their cars stuck on the shoulder of I-70, are we letting them vote in our elections now? Him and Bobo campaigning out of state shows you who they represent.
Nothing says you care about Colorado constituents than stumping in Texas. His campaign is a 🤡show
Of course he'll head to Texas. He is serving the GOP machine, Bennet serves Colorado. O'Dea may claim to be from Colorado but his heart is with the extremist MAGA Texas billionaires.
That seems like a good spot.
