Minnesota Democrat Rep. Angie Craig is facing a firestorm of criticism after publicly stating she 'regrets' her vote supporting the Laken Riley Act, legislation designed to protect Americans from violent illegal immigrants. The stunning reversal comes as Craig seeks the Democratic nomination for Senate, revealing how far left the party has moved on border security.
The Laken Riley Act, named after the Georgia nursing student brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant, requires the detention of illegal aliens charged with theft-related crimes. When it passed with bipartisan support, Craig was among the Democrats who initially backed the common-sense measure.
But now? Craig is singing a different tune to appease her radical base.
"This is exactly what's wrong with career politicians like Angie Craig - they'll say anything to get elected, even if it means abandoning the safety of law-abiding Americans," a Republican strategist told reporters.
The backlash has been swift and brutal. Republicans are hammering Craig for prioritizing the rights of criminal illegal immigrants over the safety of Minnesota families. Her flip-flop perfectly encapsulates the Democrat Party's war on common sense immigration enforcement.
Another Democrat Chooses Criminals Over Citizens
Craig's reversal isn't happening in a vacuum. It comes as President Trump's mass deportation operations are removing dangerous criminals from American communities at record pace. While Trump delivers on his promise to put America First, Democrats like Craig are literally regretting votes that would protect innocent Americans.
The Minnesota congresswoman's regret exposes the radical left's true agenda: open borders, sanctuary cities, and protecting illegal immigrants - even violent ones - at all costs. It's a slap in the face to every American family worried about their safety.
Patriots in Minnesota deserve better than a senator who regrets protecting them from criminal illegal aliens. Craig's flip-flop should be all voters need to know about where her loyalties really lie - and it's not with law-abiding Americans.
Will Minnesota voters reward this kind of political cowardice, or will they demand leaders who put American safety first?
