Open Borders Amy
Amy Klobuchar says she’s tough on the border, but her voting record says otherwise
Amy Klobuchar ran for the Senate in 2006 promising border security, a fence, and no benefits for illegal immigrants. Twenty years later, she’s done nothing to secure our borders.
Instead, Amy Klobuchar made America’s border crisis worse. She voted against sanctuary city penalties in 2015, 2016, and again in 2018. She voted against Kate’s Law, which would have strengthened protections against deported criminals who return to the U.S.
