The Colorado Independent: The Surprise Is There Is No Surprise

  • greenchiledem · 3 years ago
    Let's not forget the Sensenbrenner Anti-Immigration bill John Salazar represents a district with 21.5% Latino Population - ranked 69 of 435 US congressional districts. Yet he voted in favor of the Sensenbrenner bill that includes building a fence along the border and no legal status option.


    This is the bill that myself and thousands of others, many in his district, marched against on May 1st.  Where' the compassion for his constituency by voting on what's been called divisive and in-humane legislation?


    Will the big surprise be on Election Day when Latino voters decide not to vote?


    From Washington Post Key Vote Summary:

    Vote 661: H R 4437: This bill would clamp down on illegal immigration and toughened border security. It does not include any new avenue for current illegal immigrants to gain legal status.
